Not everything that comes out of Sanctumel Docs is an official act. An internal memo, an agenda, a list to pin up in the hall: these are ordinary documents, and they do not have to carry the church banner, the pastor's signature and today's date.
Three settings in the Details panel each remove one element. They are independent: you can keep the letterhead and remove the signature, or the other way round.
Starting from a blank page
When creating a document, the Blank document tile opens a bare A4 sheet, with no header and no pre-filled body. It is the equivalent of Word's blank document, with the rest of Sanctumel Docs around it: the editor, images, templates, paged view and printing.
The three settings
| Setting | What it removes |
|---|---|
| Church letterhead | The banner at the top and the legal footer |
| Signature and stamp | The signatory's name, role, signature and stamp |
| Place and date | The "Brussels, 12 August 2026" line, top right |
Each switch carries a line under its name saying what it removes. That is not decoration: these settings take elements out of the document, and it is better to know before printing than after.
Printing on pre-printed letterhead paper
Many churches keep a stock of letterhead paper from their printer. Uncheck Church letterhead: the document comes out with its top and bottom margins respected, but draws nothing in place of your pre-printed header. Load your paper in the tray, print, and the two line up properly.
What remains, even without the chrome
An issued document without a letterhead stays identifiable. The legal footer goes with the chrome, but it carries the legal name and company number, and a third party receiving the paper must be able to tell where it comes from without scanning anything. Those details therefore come back on a discreet line under the signature, along with the reference number.
The verification QR code always survives: it is not part of the letterhead. The document stays verifiable online, whatever its layout.
Note: these three settings are NOT offered on a certificate. A certificate is an enforceable document that an administration, a bank or another church uses as proof: it always comes out with the church letterhead, the signature and its date. For everything else, the church decides.
