An automated sample letterhead template. The download file contains detailed, step-by-step guides to modifying the included sample template and creating other prompted templates.
The template uses a simple text letterhead inside a graphic box at the top of the letter, and also uses a header and two footers for page identification, phone numbers, and so forth. But what makes it truly useful is this: It pops up a fill-in Template Information dialog, then automatically fills in certain information at various places in the body of the letter and in the header, such as the current date, delivery method, addressee, reference information, and page number. The template also displays informational headers and footers in their proper locations depending on the number of pages in the letter. (If the letter has more than one page, page 2 and following pages will have different headers and footers from the ones used on page 1.) Finally, it removes certain text strings if they are not used (and the lines they would have occupied) such as empty address lines, reference lines, and "cc:" information. The last two pages of the guide contain a sample of the letter that is generated by the letterhead template. Print both pages to see if the letterhead design is something you want to modify and use for your own letters. If you like the way the letterhead works you can modify the text (inside a text box) at the top of the page, the letter's closing, and both footers to use your own name and address. Instructions are given in the included guide document, including the steps needed to make more extensive modifications. "Automating WordPerfect Templates" (Automating.pdf) is an included Adobe PDF file that contains more information about using prompts, bookmarks, and template macros in a template to help you automate it. It may be particularly useful to newcomers as a "How To" guide on creating other automated documents such as invoices, fax cover sheets, memos, etc. Tips
