Re: Letterhead export as a doc template.
One way to use letterheads with Word (the way I use):
Firstly, I would compose the letterhead in Xara on the appropriate paper size so that the letterhead/logo was in the position that I wanted it to be, and then print off a bunch of those directly from Xara.
Then in Word I'd adjust the page margins to the size and position of the graphics in the letterhead. This is fairly easy to do because Xara will show you the width and height of your graphics in inches, which you can use directly to set the margins.
After writing the document, proof reading, spell checking and things like that, I'd do a test print on regular blank paper to make sure things look the way I want, and then load up the pre-printed letterhead sheets into the printer and print the document again.
A little trick I use here when working with an unfamiliar printer is to use a pen to mark one of the corners of the blank paper before I print. Then you can compare the stuff that was printed with the mark on the paper to make sure that you load the letterhead paper into the printer in the proper orientation.
I'm not much of a Word guru, so there may or may not be a better word-based way to pull off something like that.
This signature would be seven words long if it was six words shorter.
