SING AGE VERLAYS
An overlay is text or graphics stored in your computer as a
special file format that can be printed on any given
document. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted or letterhead paper. When you want to print a
letter, for example, you do not need to load the preprinted
letterhead in the paper tray. You just tell the printer to print
the letterhead overlay on your document.

Creating a New Overlay

1. Create or open a document containing the text and
graphics you want on your page overlay (A).
2. Select Print from the File menu. Open the Properties
window and click on the Overlays tab and click on
