Thanks a lot el (hope you don`t mind me posting your solution below, I
changed all personal data).
I did the preamble thing and managed to get a Background picture into my
letter (for me it had to be in *.ps format though).
What didn't work however was the ERT in the Name field:
\protect{
\begin{center}My Name
\end{center}
}
This produced (5x):
"""
LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
\end{document}
Try typing <return> to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X <return> to quit.
"""
Without centering however the Logo and the Name overlap.
So my question:
Is there any other (ERT) way to "center" within the field "Name"?
(Paragraph-Options for the Name field only support Left and Block, no
Center)
Thanks
