Hi Dan.....Thank you for the reply....Yes, I had thought of the copy and paste method, and it works OK. In fact I don't really have an issue with the OpenOffice programs, I think it damn good....the biggest problem I have is that I have to use MS programs as well (because of other people) and I just cannot get OpenOffice to 'convert' or 'save' to say, a Word.doc file.
It is OK the other way round (Word.doc to OpenOffice) It isn't as though I can't use the PC either....I'm literate with PShop, PaintShopPro, AutoCad and many other programs, but I just can't figure (or 'configure') this one out. Maybe the program is corrupted???? Regards Al.

If you are creating a letterhead, you need to do so in a text document (Writer) rather than Draw. Have you considered copy and pasting the graphic you created in Draw into the Header of a text document? Then you can save this text document as a template (*.ott) file. Dan _____ avast!
