I'm attempting to format a letter using the newlfm class. I have two questions:
- How do I align the top of the body text on first page with the margin text?
- How do I generate margin text to appear on the second and subsequent pages?
Here is a minimal working example that shows the problems I'm encountering:
\documentclass{newlfm}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\newlfmP{busletternofrom,noLines,nolines,dateskipbefore=0in}
\leftmarginskipleft{0.5in}
\leftmarginskipright{0.25in}
\rightmarginsize{1in}
\nameto{John Doe}
\addrto{P.O.~Box 1000 \\ Athens, AK 11111}
\namefrom{Mary Moe}
\closeline{Regards,}
\greetto{Dear Sir or Madam:}
\newsavebox{\Lfirstpagelet}
\sbox{\Lfirstpagelet}{%
\parbox[t]{1.75in}{%
\raggedleft
\printnamefrom}}
\newsavebox{\Lpagelet}
\sbox{\Lpagelet}{%
\parbox[t]{1.75in}{%
\raggedleft
Page \thepage}}
\Lmargin{\usebox{\Lfirstpagelet}}
\lmargin{\usebox{\Lfirstpagelet}}
\begin{document}
\begin{newlfm}
\PhrRe{This is a test}
\Blindtext[5]
\end{newlfm}
\end{document}
Notice that on the first page, "Mary Moe" and the date are not vertically aligned. I would like them to be.
Notice also that on the second page, nothing appears in the left margin. I would like something to appear there (ideally with the page number).
EDIT: Here's a mockup of what I hope the end result will be.

. Can you provide a visual (perhaps using some other word processing software like MS Word) of what your expected output should look like?newlfm
