Dear all,

I have several 100 of documents which have a logo on top
of every page(not template), Now my company change the
logo to a different one, how can I add the new logo to the
existing document.
Is there any way to add the new logo to the first page(by
removing the old) then automatically changes to the rest
of the pages.

pls help

If the logo is in a header, then you would open the header pane and change
it there and it will change in all pages to which that header applies. I
say "all pages to which that header applies" because:

a. The document may be divided into Sections, each of which has a
different header in which case it will be necessary to change the logo in
each of those headers

b. Each Section of the document can have several headers - a first page
header, an odd page header and an even page header, each of which could be
different.

If the documents are all very similar, it may be possible to automate this
process with a macro. For a client who sells a suite of documentation to
other companies, I developed a utility that allows them to browse to the
folder on their system where they have stored the file containing their logo
and when they select that file and click on a button, a process runs that
inserts their logo into the headers of several hundred documents.
Fortunately in this case, there was not much variation between the
documents, so there were only a couple of different "cases" to be catered
for, and as it was a system that was being sold to many different companies
and would be used by each of those companies, it was going to be used many
times and was therefore worth developing the modification that was necessary
for each of the "non-standard" cases.

Additionally, if the logo is linked, you can automatically replace it
everywhere it occurs just by substituting the new logo graphic for the
linked one. That is, is the current document contains a link to, say, {
INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Documents and Settings\\<UserProfile>\\My Documents\\My
Pictures\\logo.wmf" }, then you can substitute the new logo for the old one
in that location, and it will automatically change in all documents.
Unfortunately, this would affect existing documents as well, so you might
not want to go that route.
