How about \vspace*{-5cm} (LyX supports this) or \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 -- Richard B.
