I solved this using fancyheadings (and includegraphics) with some fiddling on dimensions to get the logo into the right position outside the text area, 
and by that way added other necessary 
page header information, too. Now my class looks exactly like required, still I cannot convince the word community to even accept the resulting pdf files, they 
want to use word/cutandpaste 
BTW. I had much success reducing the logo.ps file size using potrace and now 
have a scalable pdf logo to include in any place and size needed.
