import to Word

[georgyboy]

Hi All, i m very new to illustrator so excuse any stupid questions! I have designed a letterhead in illustrator, it strecthes the length of the page ( as i have low opacity image on it like a shadow) and i want to import it to word so I can type over the type of it. Is it possible or will i have to print out the letterhead then put it back thru the printer when i have finished my letter???
Thanks

Save from Illustrator as an EPS. You can print this from Word if you have a PostScript printer. If not, export as a high-res bitmap (tiff).

In Word, go to 'Insert>Image>from file...' and choose the Illustrator art. You should be able to set the image to appear behind text.
