If you have OE why not use it? Perhaps other email clients as well. I don't know because
I have always used OE.

It is possible to d/l stationary from MS (free). You can use it in MS Word. OE also has some stationary available.

Don't you have print on the toolbar. If not customize the toolbar and add it. Maybe that will
allow you to print.

You can have a complete office suite for free, take a look at OpenOffice. It'll do this task and a lot more. Did I mention free?

Hi John Will, i think my wife downloaded the open office. i will find out for sure if she figured it out. i think what she ended up doing was printing out a page with a background and then when her letter was typed she put the page with the printed out background back in the printer and then printed the letter over top. i belive that was her solution. i guess thats what she meant by saying she was up and running. i'll find out from her for sure and if she didnt figure out an easier way then i will mark the thread as unsolved and maybe one of you can assist her to do it by an easier method.
