printing two documents together in Word

I would do exactly the same, only I would print the header page first, then return the paper to the printer and print the main letter. Obviously the main letter would have to start some way down from the top of the page otherwise it will overwrite the header.

Or am I missing something in your post?

... if you want to print your letter head on only one letter, then why you would you need to put the others back to the printer ? Obviously, you just put one letter back to have the "head" printed !

There is another way, which I often do:

I create a "letter head" template. I type my letter on this template, and as usual, save it the ordinary way. If I want a printed copy, I print the saved copy. If I want further copies without the letter head, I just delete the letter head and print... (and then close the document without saving.) OR, I format the head with the color white, then print...

In the firat method, the "head", after being deleted, will be taken up by part of the body of the letter. In the second method, the "head" will not be replaced, as it is still there---invisible. Perhaps this is your problem ?
