^ Oh, bullshit. Ignore that.
Everyone knows Comic Sans for headlines and Haettenschweiler for body copy do the business.

Outside of it being shit to design in, what's the issue with giving them a .doc file that they can type into?

I've had to do this a few times for Word. I don’t have an alternative and it's been a while but this is what I did.
Edit the Headers and Footers section of the Word template by embedding graphics. I wouldn’t mess with laying stuff out in Word.
Take your original letterhead design and slice it up as header graphic and footer graphic. Embed those in the header and footer respectively.
Edit the page margin settings accordingly. Set a type style in the stylesheet for the body text. Make sure to choose one that your coworkers will have on their computer.
- don't even need to splice it up as I said above - just import the whole A4 PDF into Word as a watermark - then add text areas - way easier - done in 5 minutes.fadein11
- I have done the header and footer method before myself and its a pain in the ass compared to the above.fadein11
- and the header and foote rmethod only works with letterheads that are only have stuff at the top and bottomfadein11
