Adding Letterheads and Graphics

NOTE-- We retired MacNail construction software in 2000, and replaced it with Goldenseal: a complete, integrated business software package for Macintosh and Windows. Goldenseal handles construction spec writing, plus accounting, construction estimating, and project management, After you create a project contract in Goldenseal, you'll click the Write Contract button to create a word processor document, which you can then format however you'd like.

Adding Graphics to Contracts

You can add your business letterhead or logo, detail drawings, or any other graphics to a contract document created from the MacNail construction management software.

Before you do so, you'll need to have the graphics in computer-accessible form. Either use a graphics program to create it directly on the computer, or use a scanner (available at some copy centers or computer stores) to convert a drawing or photograph into a computer file.

To add a graphic to a word processor document:

1. Run your favorite graphics program, and select the graphic image.
2. Choose Copy from the Edit menu.
3. Switch to your word processor program, and open the contract.
4. Click at the spot where you'd like the graphic to appear.
5. Choose Paste from the Edit menu.
6. Add carriage returns and any other formatting necessary to get the contract looking as you want.
