In a letter style document, is it possible to make a special letter-head design to be printed on top of page without having to modify letter.sty? (Before making the letter-head design or before writing our own style, I thought I should ask for someone's advise.) Thanks in advance. Regards, mariam@unocss.unomaha.edu

The way I did it, the answer is "sort of." I created some PostScript for drawing our letterhead, and some TeX macros that invoke it, and pass it the text needed for personalized letterheads. The TeX macros I put into letterhead.sty. In general that worked fine, but in the case of letters I had to redefine some of the macros from letter.sty in letterhead.sty. You really want to have the letterhead drawn when you say \begin{letter}. You can do this by modifying \opening so that it draws the letterhead. I went a little further and modified \address so that if you have used the \address macro to specify a return address, then your return address goes into a personalized letterhead. Otherwise, you get the standard letterhead.
