So you can return it to its original state copy down on a piece of paper the characters listed under the Header and Footer fields. Then delete all the characters in the Header and Footer fields.

  • All Browsers:
    Assuming you sized the letterhead correctly if the margins are set incorrectly when you print the letterhead you will end up with the letterhead being down too low on the page and/or the letterhead cut off on the right side.

    If after removing the header and footer and setting the margins the letterhead prints too far up on the paper you can use the Top Margin setting on the Preview page to push it down. A larger number will move them down more than a smaller number.
