MARGINS AND PAPER SIZE
        Margins and paper size are set under FILE – PAGE SETUP.
CREATE YOUR LETTERHEAD
        Choose the font – the font size – the justification – and then type the information that you would like on your letterhead.
        Maybe you would like to add a line to separate your information from the rest of the letter. From the top menu, choose INSERT – PICTURE – NEW DRAWING. This will open up a box with a shaded border and the drawing toolbar will appear at the bottom of the screen. On the drawing toolbar, click on the Line icon. Your cursor will change to a cross shape. Place your cursor at the point you would like your line to start. Press and hold the left mouse button and drag your mouse to create the line. If you hold the shift key down, the line will be straight. Release the mouse button when you have your line completed. If you now right-click on the line and choose FORMAT AUTO SHAPE, you can change the color and width of the line.
        When you have completed your line, click outside of the shaded box. Now if you click on the line you created to select it – then you can choose FORMAT – OBJECT. On the WRAPPING tab, choose TIGHT and this will allow you to place your text closer to the line that you created.
        Maybe you would like to add a small picture to your letterhead. To do this, choose INSERT – PICTURE – and then either CLIP ART or FROM FILE . Choose the picture that you want and it will appear on your letter. Now, adjust the size of your picture so that it will fit nicely within your letterhead. You do this by clicking on one of the handles (the square blocks that are visible at the corners, sides, top and bottom of the dotted box) and dragging it to the size that you want. It is always best to use ONLY the corner handles so that the picture does not become distorted!. When you have completed the resizing of your picture, then choose FORMAT – OBJECT. On the WRAPPING tab, choose TIGHT and this will allow you to move it and to place your text closer to the picture.
        I did find that in Works, there is no choice for No Wrapping (no ability for the text to go over the picture) – therefore, you will have to adjust your picture and text accordingly.
        How about adding a date to the letter. That can be done automatically. Use CTRL-END (on the keyboard) to get to the end of your information that you have entered so far – then hit the ENTER key. This will place your cursor under the line that you have drawn on your letterhead. Decide what justification that you want for the date (left – right – center) and then choose INSERT – DATE AND TIME. You will be given a list of date and time formats – choose the one that is right for you – place a checkmark in front of AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE WHEN PRINTED. Then click on OK. This will place the date on your letter.
        What we have found out that automatically updating the date is only good to use when you are writing a letter to be printed and NOT SAVED. If you use the automatically update the date, then every time that you open the letter to review it – THE DATE WILL BE CHANGED!!!!!
SAVE YOUR LETTERHEAD AS A TEMPLATE
        Let’s save our work as a TEMPLATE. From the FILE menu, choose SAVE AS. The first thing that you will do is change the SAVE AS TYPE to DOCUMENT TEMPLATE (*.WPT). This will automatically move you to the Templates folder. Click on SAVE.
        Now let’s close the letterhead that we have on the screen and learn how to retrieve it everytime that we want to use it. To close it, from the FILE MENU, choose CLOSE.
RETRIEVING YOUR TEMPLATE
        To retrieve your template when you are in your Works Word Processor, from the FILE menu, choose NEW. This will take you to the opening screen of Works. Click on the TASKS tab and then the PERSONAL TEMPLATES at the bottom of the list. Then click on the template that you wish to use.
ADDING A WATERMARK
        You are able to create a watermark in Works --- but you can not place any text on it – it only allows for text wrapping. When I look under HELP – you can find watermark – but the HELP only refers you to WRAP TEXT AROUND AN OBJECT.
