I am trying to implement our company logo as our standard letterhead for email. The users will not have access to any other letterhead choices. Where the problem is…
I have added our logo in the background of the table on the memo form. We have an additional background bg_10 (which is a plain white background).
I cannot locate where it is adding the background bg_1 to the table behind the logo. I’ve looked in the bgtablecolor field. I’ve updated the cell image in the table to bg_10 which did update the backgrounds to white for some of the cells.
Any ideas what I’m missing??
thanks
Subject: Company Logo for Letterhead
Laura,Ahh, my users have asked me this one before.
Firstly, I think that you are looking in the wrong place–my memory of this says that the field that controls this is the “Logo” field.
However, think about this for a minute, and you will realise that it can never work.
Yes, you could add another logo (your company logo) into the available choices. However here is the rub.
The Logo that you add is only known to the server on which the Notes client is working at the time.
Let me put it another way:
-
You choose the option “Bouncy Earth” as your logo
-
You send an email to another Notes client on another server
-
The other server looks up the Logo from its list of Logos
-
It finds “Bouncy Earth” and renders it in the received email.
So far everything works, you will agree. Now we add a new Logo on our Server, we send it to another server. What will it render? Nothing–because it could not find your new Logo.
But what about the web, you say? The problem gets worse because Notes does not have any way to encapsulate the Logo so that it can be sent to a receiving SMTP server. That is why you never will see the Logo outside of Notes.
I hope that helps.
