Automatically adding headers and footers in print documents

[wildfire2323]

I would like to create a print function that will automatically put headers and footers on the document. This will be used to print out quotes to send to customers. The headers and footer will contain the company logo, address, etc, and needs to be in color. The body of the document will come from a text file that will be imported. I would like to also set a specific line that it should start at when it brings in the text file or prints it off. The way I see it working is that it uses Word objects to create the final document once all parts are put together.

That's good. What is your question?

How do I do it?

Bear in mind that if you use MS-Word to do this then your users will need to have MS-Word installed on their machine to print out. Instead you could create the document template in code using the .NET PrintDocument class - I have written a couple of articles on this site that do that....

I would be more than willing to do that. Can you please send me a link to the article that most closely deals with this. Thanks

There's an article at this site[^] and a newer version of the source code (with a rudimentary effort of a graphical designer) on VBForums[^]
