Creating your company letterhead with Word is very easy. First thing you to do some preparation of your logo to be used within Word. Here are some steps for you to follow to make it happen:
- Create a 150DPI version of your logo at fair print size (say around 50mm if it's square bound or 80mm if it's a horisontal rectangle etc).
- Make sure your logo is created in RGB format, since Word is an RGB application.
- When in word, click on view/header and footer.
- You'll see a box open up at the top of the document.
- What I've found best is to insert a table with no borders, with 2 cells, so that I can left align the logo in the lefthand cell and right align any contact details like address, phone numbers etc in the righthand cell.
- Click on close (on the toolbar that pops up when you view your header).
- Now if you want the letterhead only on the front page, go to file / page setup.
- Click on the layout tab and select the 'Different first page' checkbox.
- Click OK to confirm
