MYOB Intranet can be is used to configure stationery documents that provide formatting and layout features to documents, such as headers, footers, fonts, and so on. Any of the stationery ‘templates’ can be selected in combination with the standard document when creating new documents.

For example, you could select a document that provides the main body of text of a letter and merge fields which prompt for contact name, address, and so on. The header and footer information (such as a company logo and the address) would be provided from the stationery document that is selected.
