I'll try to illustrate using a monospaced font: +------+ Company Name | | | Logo | | | +------+ ------------------------------------------------+------------ Type of document | Page Report of something | 2 (10) -----------------------------------+------------+------------ Name of document | Issue | Date My document name | 1 | 2008-04-22 -----------------------------------+------------+------------ Issuer (dept, name, email) | Appendix dept, name, email | Appendix ------------------------------------------------+------------ This is the full header. A reduced header is used on the rest of the pages where the last row is excluded. (I am trying to convert a MS-Word template...) Thanks, /Stefan
