Personal Letterhead

You have begun to learn how to construct a business letter. What goes along with business letters are letterheads, which create a professional look.

Open a new document. You will create an original letterhead using your name.

The information located on top of the page MUST be placed within the top 2". If you have information located on the bottom of the page it MUST be placed within the bottom 1". Notice that this matches the margins for the first page of any letter.

To learn how to do this, we will use the Letterhead video from the share folder.  mh_shares\119 Blake\Word Processing\Video Tutorials\Letterhead.

Hints:  Create a text box to hold the data. Insert > Text Box. Choose "draw text box." To remove the line from the text box, click on Shape Outline > No Outline. You may wish to use Word Art for your name, but that is your choice.

The benefit to using text boxes is that you can easily move these around the page.

Use your formatting skills to make the letterhead look nice. 

Be sure to key in the required information.

1. Your Name (must stand out)
2. Address
3. City, State, Zip
4. Phone Number
5. E-mail address
6. Graphic or image that represents you.

Save as "Personal Letterhead". Print in color. Measure the top margin and make sure it doesn't go past the 2" mark. If you used the bottom, measure the bottom margin and make sure it doesn't go past the 1" mark. Look at the letterhead and make sure nothing is cut off.

Original Letterhead: 25 points.

**You will be using this letterhead for your celebrity letter, so please make sure that the image(s) you choose for your letterhead do not represent the person. Clip art that comes directly from Word are your best option.
