Ok, a client can ask me to make the logo bigger, he may even ask me to make it spin, and put a CMS behind it..
BUT DO NEVER ASK ME TO PUT THEIR LETTERHEAD AS A BACKGROUND IN A WORD DOCUMENT BECAUSE IT JUST NEVER WORKS!!!!! I HATE, REALLY HATE MICROSHAFT OFFICE!!!!!!!!!!!
so there.. had to get it off my chest.
2 hours and still not ready with the same fucking header in this one fucking word doc.
*opens window
*jumps out

works alright for me whenever I need to do it. It's just when I want to type a letter and word decides all my formatting isn't quite right and changes it for me that fucks me off!

place the full color image on a blank page.
right-click and choose 'format picture'.
from the 'picture' tab, change the 'image control: color' to 'washout'.
from the 'layout' tab, change the 'wrapping style' to 'behind text'.
hit 'ok' and tweak the image on the page.
hope that helps.

Just make the damn logo bigger - get the check and don't pick up the phone next time he calls.

..but i need to make it so that the client does not mess it up.
he wants these for emailing contracts..
- blaw0
you could follow those steps outlined above, but put it in a 'header' (view: header and footer).
i just emailed you a .doc that is doing this.
- janne0
thx that file helped a lot.
i just found out it does not need to be inside the boundaries of that stupid header box!
Microsoft logic, eh?
cheers!

Yeah i've had to do the same thing on occassion. ended up doing something very similar to blaw.
What I don't understand is when you put a compressed jpeg into a word file, the file size gets much bigger, but if you put an uncompressed tif into a word file it gets smaller
wtf?
thats ms logic.
- blaw0
yes, sir. happy to help.

well i spent my day cleaning up and combining POWERFUCKINGPOINT files for a possible client. Since I'm the only one in the office who knows even an inkling of Powerpoint, my computer got violated with MS Office. I feel like a dirty whore.
- janne0

you ARE a dirty whore.
i kid! I kid!!
