: Letterhead Template translated to Word 2016 I've designed a letterhead in illustrator which I am trying to put into Word 2016 so that the client can type out his letters and save them as PDFs.

For your first question, and I know this is not ideal I would suggest to use text boxes. This is because if you work the margins in one page the others will have the same margins (I could not find a way to make them differently.) Also I have been struggling with this when I have to make a design into a word template.

Regarding your second question what I usually do as a little trick to make background graphics to stay on their places and increase the chances of them being moved when the client handles the template - what I do is paste the elements inside the header. Once you are done and close the Header edition mode they will be "locked" (and looking like they lack opacity but that's just Words way of saying it is locked, it will print out fine).



As far as the header is concerned you can make it appear only on the first page and not on the second one by ticking the box that says Different First Page on the Header&Footer tab in Word.




In consequence of all this you will have your red bar and header only on the first page. And it will be locked unless the user chooses to edit the Header. But I assume they won't mess with the header and footer if you tell them not to.
