Re: letterhead and signature in odt export

[Tim Cross <theophilusx@gmail.com>]

I've never delved into the XML nightmare that is ODT and stick with
latex/PDF export.

Here is how I handled needing to have a logo and banner at the top of my
documents. Essentially, it involves using the Latex 'minipage'
environment to setup the layout and the xcolor package to handle
colours. Getting it working is somewhat trial and error, but once you
have it, it is pretty much set and forget. 

The below is an early version. I later refined it and put it into my
org-latex-classes variable, but removed it when I left the University
for a new employer. It should be fairly straight-forward to adapt to a
letter head. The only challenge will be if your Uni Marketing/PR are
very rigid re: format. In particular, fonts can be a challenge if they
have selected something unusual.
