Thanks a lot el (hope you don`t mind me posting your solution below, I changed all personal data).
I did the preamble thing and managed to get a Background picture into my letter (for me it had to be in *.ps format though). What didn't work however was the ERT in the Name field: \protect{ \begin{center}My Name \end{center} } This produced (5x): """ LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item. \end{document} Try typing <return> to proceed. If that doesn't work, type X <return> to quit. """ Without centering however the Logo and the Name overlap. So my question: Is there any other (ERT) way to "center" within the field "Name"? (Paragraph-Options for the Name field only support Left and Block, no Center) Thanks SK wrote: > SK, > > the short answer is to use g-brief2 and put whatever text you like > into the "ReturnAddress" field :-)-O > > The long answer: > > I wanted to center the "Name" and have a logo on the left in > g-brief2, so I circumvented it by putting: > > \usepackage{eso-pic} \usepackage{graphicx} > \newcommand\BackgroundPicture{% > \put(-210,380){\parbox[b][\paperheight]{\paperwidth}{% > \vfill\centering\includegraphics[width=3cm,keepaspectratio]{logo}\vfill}}} > \AddToShipoutPicture{\BackgroundPicture} > > into the Preamble (I use logo.jpg, but but a .png will also work) and > > > \protect{\begin{center}Your Name\end{center}} > > as ERT into the Name: field. > > You may have to play a little with your settings, in particular if > you use Letter since I use A4 and have adjusted my margins a bit, but > you should get the idea. > > greetings, el
