How to Create a letterhead in Word and save as a template

While there is in the Word templates already some letter templates with head, but if you want to use your own letterhead in Word, then you have to be a little creative. We explain how one can make his private letter template to use self-reflection.

With "new file" to open in any version of Word a window in which we can choose from several templates for new documents. Among other things, we find such templates for letters. The are nice in general - but that's not enough. You do not want to enter all data sender by hand each time. As a separate Word letterhead is needed!

Change a template and save as a separate Word Letterhead

If you are not very creative myself, but want to have a visually pleasing result with his letterhead for Word, then the use of existent templates is definitely the easiest way. But there must not waive adjustments to yes. It is perfectly possible to modify an existent template and then save it as a separate template This is found then under "My Templates".

We find templates for Word either in the program itself or on the Microsoft's own page Office.com under Templates. These templates are usually already provided with a complete layout and have prepared places for the sender information and the date and perhaps also account information in the footer. Often will also find a sample text. We can delete gleichmal first. Maybe we have to deal with everything over to our preferred font. It is also helpful if we "Insert - date and time" use the same print or save date as prepared block.

Then of course all personal data will be entered and perhaps the sender in a narrow strip above the receiver array, so you can use a window envelope. If not present, a crease mark on the left side is also very convenient. Alls the course makes sure that we have to print the target several times and correct, until everything fits to our satisfaction.

Then comes the moment where we turn a Word letterhead a reusable template. We must place the file in the right place and in the correct format. This is in Word 2010, for example under

C: \ users \ username \ AppData \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ Templates

To find. Where "username" is of course your username!

So there you select the location and size as your choose "Word Template (*. Dotx)". Now even awarded a decent name, such as "letterhead private" and just like that the letterhead under "My Templates" always available.

Creating your own Word Letterhead

Before creating is its own Word letterhead, you should look at some other way of example. What should be in the letterhead? Will I always write the date manually? If the telephone number or e-mail address are there?

Next, do you think about the layout. There are DIN standards for business letters, but the need and do not irritate in the private sector. So we can put up signs and then place the address in the footer or on the side of everything with a thick tape. The imagination since no limits. Practically this are also freely positionable text fields that we "Insert - Text Box" find.

When we are done with everything and still have inserted kink brands and a recipient field here, then we save the recipe from after described above as a separate template and the letterhead is always in the menu "File - New" menu.
