When sending reports to MSWord, if a file named header.doc exists in the CAESAR II System folder, its contents are read and used as the page header when CAESAR II exports the report to Microsoft Word. The intent is that header.doc contains the company logo, address details and formatting for tables. The interface uses a style names report table which you can set up in header.doc.
