I will see if I can output that in illustrator, right?
Fuckin' MS Word - what a piece of cruddy poo poo
- use raster in MS Word, not vector files. Convert in PS I guessmonospaced

1200dpi .tiff bitmap in a .DOT file. (1bit/channel). Always prints sharp, no messing around.
- you're putting my nonskillz to the test... never really worked in print preprocanoe
- 1200 might be overkill, but that's the general idea.monospaced
- do i set up the file in illustrator then? or when I export it?canoe
- when it's only 1bit, you can get away with some extra res. Output from PS 300dpi greyscale > bitmap (threshold)monNom

These guys suggest using the EMF as a "watermark". perhaps that will work better than a header/footer

do you have 30 minutes to work on this today?

I copy and pasted a tip that i_monk had posted a while back here on QBN. Lost the link but have his method saved:
1. Save your letterhead as an 8.5x11 PDF, print quality.
2. in Word, turn on Headers & Footers (so you can see them)
3. Click in the Header space, and Insert Picture from File...
4. Select your PDF, it will appear in the header probably shifted half off the page.
5. Right click and Format Picture... Here you see it to Size/Scale to100% (the default is like 71%), position Behind Text, and the Absolute Position has to be 0cm and 0cm, from Page (I think Margin is the default). You may have to repeat this step a few times because it seems to selectively ignore the absolute position details.
6. Turn off headers (so you can't see them anymore) and save.- again, via i_monkGnash
- Heh i've done this before... doesn't always work thoughd_rek
- only needed to do it once myself. worked that time but required some fiddlingGnash
- Always had issues when handing off files that contained PDF artwork to clientsd_rek
- the PDF thing won't work, use a PNG or something at high-resmonospaced
- PDF all the way - it workstimeless
- monospaced0
just put the artwork in the header and set the type specs and margins
