Adding images to headers

[vmimbrero]

Hi there!

I work with scrivener from the first versions and now that I am using it to write business documents I wonder if I can insert an image as a logo in headers to be printed on everypage when compiling…

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Hi.
There is a placeholder for inserting an image.
It works for section layouts’ prefixes, it might for page header. (I never tried.)

You could, of course, just insert a table with the logo and address in a document and place it in the Templates folder.
Create a folder “Business letters” and set Document > Default Template for subdocuments to your Template.

Hope this Helps

Thanks for your kind reply.

It works but what I really want is that logo to appear on every page.
With your solution I get it only in the first one and what I need is that header to be repeated on each page of the document.

Thanks again

Unfortunately, image placeholders can’t be used in headers …

image (logo) in header at export?

Hi, Yes, as druid says, this is not possible. I have recently overhauled the RTF/DOC export to support certain rich text elements, but images are still not available. The trouble is that to support headers and footers at all is an enormous hack, as I have to hack into Apple’s default exporters which don’t support such features at all. Adding images would be an enormous task, and should definitely be left to a dedicated word processor - Scrivener was never intended to replace a word processor al…

Yes, I’ve been diving in the forum and saw that message… it’s a pity

Me sorry to hear will keep in mind, only other way would be to use page view and insert link at top of each page. Only problem would not work for ebook due to variable page size but might work in pdf form??? (a thought never tried)

[GoalieDad]

additional thought would have to leave enough space for image to fit, if short work, just add image to each page as go.

Adding an image to every page (reliably) isn’t possible unless each page is a section. Right?

Now knowing that the placeholder can’t be used in headers at compile, definitely something that would be best handled post compile in a more standard text editing app. One wysiwyg with pages and overall headers.

Technically, since Scrivener ain’t wysiwyg at all, you shouldn’t even have to bother with inserting space at the top of your pages at compile. It is not like the page alignment should matter – unless, of course, you have references to page numbers. In which case that could be quite problematic.
