Add a Logo or Other Graphics

To jazz up your letterhead, include graphics from your company’s collection of logos and scanned images or from the Microsoft Clip Gallery, or draw your own pictures. With the tools on the Drawing toolbar, you can create a variety of shapes, to which you can add color, fills, textures, patterns, shadows, and 3-D effects, and which you can group, align, rotate, and flip. Click the Drawing button to display the Drawing toolbar.

Position your name, address, and logo side by side   Click in the header or footer, type your name and address, select the text, and then click Text Box (Insert menu). Click From File (Insert menu, Picture submenu) to insert your logo, and then drag it to align it with your name and address or vice versa. Add space between your letterhead design and the letter text   Click Page Layout (View menu), and then drag the gray border on the vertical ruler.

Mix Graphics with Text Effects

If you want your letterhead design to really get attention, use text effects.

The example below is one of the preset text effects you can use by clicking the WordArt button on the Drawing toolbar. If this effect isn’t exactly what you want, you can change it. For more information on making the most of graphics, see Get Your Point Across with Graphics.
