How about

\phantom{ }\vspace*{-5cm}
Uwe,
Neither of those had any effect. What I did (after spending too much time
going around in circles), was to generate a new .pdf file with smaller and
more symmetrical borders.
Because we use a logotype-logo, and that typeface (Baker Signet) is not
available in LaTeX (or LyX ... as far as I know), I created the letterhead
in OO.o's Writer and exported it as a .pdf file. Initially, I did not cut
the page size as small as I could and this left too much margin on the left,
top, and bottom. Resizing the page before exporting it resulted in a much
smaller and easier to adjust \titlehead. Moving the bounding box coordinates
until the output was suitable fixed the problem.
Thanks very much for your suggestion,
Rich
