IMAGE HANDLING (CRITICAL)
The LA wordmark is an IMAGE FILE, not typeset text. Never substitute typeset "LOCKWOOD ADVISORY" character text for the wordmark.
LA wordmark file paths:
- library/la-wordmark-stacked.webp (web optimised)
- LockwoodAdvisory/LogoFinal/LAlogo(right)_final_140526.png (full-res source)
- LockwoodAdvisory/LogoFinal/LAlogo(bottom)_final_140526.png (stacked variant)
When generating via python-docx: use document.add_picture(path, width=Mm(40)).
When generating in any tool that cannot embed images: insert clear placeholder text exactly like this:
[INSERT LA WORDMARK IMAGE here - file: library/la-wordmark-stacked.webp]
NEVER skip the mark silently. NEVER use ASCII art, character drawing, or typeset text in place of the mark.
LETTERHEAD STRUCTURE (page 1 only)
Distinguish two things Word calls "header":
1. The NAVY HEADER BAND - a BODY paragraph at the top of page 1 with shading fill #0E2138, ~50mm tall, containing the LA wordmark image (left or centre) and an optional contact block in cream text. This is the main visual letterhead.
2. The WORD PAGE HEADER - the small repeating page-chrome area Word uses for "Document title - page X". Use this for a thin meta line only (e.g. "LOCKWOOD ADVISORY . [Doc Title]").
Page 2 onwards: a thin navy strip at the top (~8mm) plus the small Word page header line, no full band.
HEADER BAND IMPLEMENTATION (CRITICAL - the band must look continuous)
The navy header band must read as ONE solid block edge-to-edge, NOT as a stack of paragraphs each with their own shading. The correct implementation:
USE A BORDERLESS TABLE WITH ONE ROW (NOT paragraph shading).
python-docx recipe:
```
from docx import Document
from docx.shared import Mm, RGBColor, Cm, Pt
from docx.oxml.ns import qn
from docx.oxml import OxmlElement
doc = Document()
# Make page margins narrow so the band can be near full-width
section = doc.sections[0]
section.top_margin = Mm(10)
section.left_margin = Mm(15)
section.right_margin = Mm(15)
# Header band: 1 row, 2 cells, navy fill, no borders
table = doc.add_table(rows=1, cols=2)
table.autofit = False
table.allow_autofit = False
# Set full page width
total_width = Mm(180) # roughly A4 width minus margins
table.columns[0].width = Mm(70) # wordmark side
table.columns[1].width = Mm(110) # contact side
for cell in table.row_cells(0):
# Set navy fill on cell
shading = OxmlElement('w:shd')
shading.set(qn('w:fill'), '0E2138')
cell._tc.get_or_add_tcPr().append(shading)
# Remove borders
for tag in ('top', 'left', 'bottom', 'right', 'insideH', 'insideV'):
b = OxmlElement(f'w:{tag}')
b.set(qn('w:val'), 'nil')
cell._tc.get_or_add_tcPr().append(b)
# Vertical centre
cell.vertical_alignment = 1
# Set cell height ~50mm via row
table.rows[0].height = Mm(50)
table.rows[0].height_rule = 1 # exact
# Left cell: wordmark image
left = table.cell(0, 0)
left.text = ''
para = left.paragraphs[0]
run = para.add_run()
run.add_picture('library/la-wordmark-stacked.webp', width=Mm(55))
# Right cell: contact in cream
right = table.cell(0, 1)
right.text = ''
for line in ['MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT', 'lockwoodadvisory.com.au', 'nicole@lockwoodadvisory.com.au', '+61 401 655 686']:
p = right.add_paragraph()
r = p.add_run(line)
r.font.color.rgb = RGBColor(0xF5, 0xF2, 0xE8) # cream
r.font.size = Pt(10)
r.font.name = 'Tenor Sans'
```
Key rules for the band:
- ONE table, ONE row, TWO cells (or one cell if you prefer the wordmark centred with contact below)
- NO borders (set all border w:val to "nil")
- Navy fill (#0E2138) on the table cells, not on individual paragraphs
- Row height fixed at ~50mm using height_rule = "exact" (CT_HeightRule.EXACT in some libs)
- Text inside the cell: cream colour (#F5F2E8), Tenor Sans, vertically centred
- Wordmark image inside the cell, ~55mm wide
- Page top margin set to ~10mm so the band sits near the top edge
If you cannot embed the image, the cell still applies (navy fill), and inside place:
[INSERT LA WORDMARK IMAGE here - file: library/la-wordmark-stacked.webp]
NEVER use repeated paragraph shading on consecutive lines to fake a band - it produces visible breaks between paragraphs and looks like a stack of small navy boxes, not a continuous band. Always use a table cell with shading.
