Letter heading

[ask100]

I'm using Word 2003 and trying to make a letterheading with a logo on the right hand side and address etc underneath, all butting up to the right side. I have been able to do this to a degree using headers but I can't get to put text in the left hand of the page this way. Any suggestions?

I have just quickly went into Word and may have a possible answer for you.

- Page Layout > Margins

Put a table in the header with two columns
Right-justify the right-hand column and (guess what?) left-justify the left-hand column

If all else fails, open a new page and put the logo with the address etc. underneath as you want. Press the PrtScr key and open the Paint prog. , Edit-Paste and crop to the part you want. Save as gif or jpeg if the logo is coloured. You can then place the logo-address anywhere on the page, shift it all around and make it bigger/smaller to your heart's desires.

Another choice

Open Word Document and then click insert. Browse and choose your picture and when it appears in your document right click on picture. This will open a small window, choose Format Picture>Layout>Tight>OK.

Then you can move the picture exactly to where you want it on the page.

Type your text and align it to the right of the page, under the picture.

Then click on align left and type your text.

It's easier to do than explain. Hope you manage it.

Using this method you can move the picture anywhere you like by left clicking and dragging.

A Guest, I have followed your suggestions but now need to be able to lock the logo and name so that it won't change when I or anyone else want to put in text. More advice please?

Hi ask100.

I usually create a document with the picture and text underneath then save it on my desktop as a template whenever I wish to write a letter. Of course both the picture and text are always in the same place.

Alternatively I think that if you right click on the picture and choose Format Picture
form then select any wrapping style in the layout tab strip. Click Advanced button
then place a tick next to Lock Anchor and Allow Overlap. Remove tick next to Move Object with Text option.

PS: I know that the template version works ok.

trouble is that you can not align text left AND right on the same line, hence Rojash's suggestion. An image is separate from text and can be put anywhere on the document.

Here are two ways to align text left AND right on the same line.

Left align the first piece of text.
Then set a right aligned tab stop at the far end of the line.
The fastest way to do this is to use the horizontal ruler at the top of your window. (View menu/tab on the Ribbon, Ruler choice/checkbox to display the ruler).
At the far left of the ruler, there is a button displaying the types of tab stops available.
Click it until it displays the right tab stop symbol.
At this point, click on the ruler at the far right margin to set the right tab stop. Job done.
Alternatively – type text on the left, followed by the text for the right alingment – and insert spaces between the two to fill the line.
Place the picture as I explained earlier and save the lot as a document template on the desktop for further use.
