Invoice letterhead template word for Marketing

hi and in today's tutorial I'm going to show  you how to make this really quick and simple   letterhead in word so the first thing you  need to do is to decide if you're going to   put all of your graphics into your headers and  Footers if you do this they will repeat on each   page but you don't have to you can also just  put them into the page itself so if I double   click at the top here you can see I'm now in  the headers and Footers so let's go to insert   picture click on the drop down picture from file  now I'm going to insert my logo you'll have your   own logo so I'm going to select my image here  and click insert and then with everything that's   inserted into word generally you can't move it  so you have to select it go to picture format   go to wrap text click on the drop down you can  select from any of these but I generally select   in front of text because it generally works  with everything now don't be fooled by this   blue line you don't have to put everything  in your headers and Footers above that line   or below that line in headers and footage you  can put anything anywhere on your page and it   will still appear in your headers and Footers so  I'm just going to reduce the size of this logo   and pop it about there next go to insert shapes  click on the drop down and select the square and   then just click and drag and move this over to  about here and then I'm going to customize it   with the colors and then copy and paste it  so select it go to shape format go to shape   pipeline click on the drop down and I'm going to  set select no outline each shape will come with an   outline it's very thin and narrow you can't really  see it but if you zoom in you'll be able to see   I'm just going to get rid of that now I'm going  to go to shape format and along to format pane   open format pane I'm going to choose the bucket  icon here go to fill click on the drop down and   I'm going to scroll down to gradient fill now  ingredient fill here you'll see a slider with   two boxes that look like little houses if  you click on these boxes you can change the   color so select it go to color click on the drop  down and select from the color of your choice if   you don't see the color of your choice click  more colors you've got the color wheel here   and you've also got the brightness and darkened  slider here as well the color you select will   come up in this box here once you're happy  you just click ok now as you can see these   colors I've selected from my logo and that  will give my whole look some cohesion and in   addition to make sure that your logo goes left  to right choose type you can choose linear which   I've chosen here and the direction click on the  drop down just move this over so you can see it   I've selected this one here but you can select  any of these options it's all very much a personal   choice so once we've done that if you want to  deselect anything in your headers and Footers if   you click in the main body it won't work you have  to click in the headers and Footers to deselect   anything so I'm happy with that so now I'm going  to copy and paste it so select it I'm going to   hold down my ALT or option key click and then just  drag another one of those the other option is if   you select one press command or control and the C  key deselect it and then command or control V and   that will also copy and paste another one of those  elements and pop this one down at the bottom here   and then this one I'm going to put next to it  to make sure these are both aligned I'm going   to select this one hold down my command or control  key and click on this one you can see they're both   now selected go to shape format go to align click  on the drop down and select align to top and those   will be perfectly lined up so to keep them as  one element I'm going to group them together so   again select them both go to shape format group  click on the drop down and select group and now   that's one element and you can move it round to  suit your taste so as you can see we've got the   main body of our letterhead in so now we need to  put the body of our letter in here now there's   two ways you can do this if I double click in  the center of my page you'll see I'm now in the   main body and I can actually just type as I would  normally now you see everything is grayed out in   the headers and Footers but that's fine because  that just tells you all of those elements are   not in the main body but there are in the headers  and Footers now if you want to send this obviously   if you send it as a PDF file it'll be absolutely  perfect all the colors will be vibrant and nothing   will be grayed out so the next problem you've got  is the cursor here now you can hit the return key   which is fine alternatively let's just go back up  you can use the rulers here and the margins so if   you can't see your rulers go to view ruler make  sure that's checked hover the cursor between the   gray and white section click and then you can  pull that all the way down to where you want   your cursor to begin and as you can see the curse  is now moved so on every single page now if you   wanted to insert another page let's just go into  page break you'll see that your cursor will appear   in the right place on each page so let's just go  back now personally if I'm only writing a single   page letter I would actually only put all of my  text into a text box so go to insert text box   click on the drop down and select draw text box  then click and drag out a text box don't worry   about the size at the moment then I'm going to  grab some text just copy and paste it in I'm sure   you don't want to see me typing I'm just going  to narrow that slightly this is a great thing   about using a text box is it's really flexible  you can move the text anywhere you like if you   don't like the margins you can make them bigger  or smaller now to ensure this is perfectly lined   up select it go to shape format align align to  center now if I deselect this text box you can   see we've got a black board around the outside  but we've also got a white fill color I'm going   to get rid of both of those so select it go  to shape format go to shape outline click on   the drop down and select no outline go to shape  fill click on the drop down and select no fill   now I'm going to put in the signature block and  also the contact information now instead of having   to take out the borders and the background colors  like we've just done I'm just going to Simply copy   and paste this text box so I've selected it make  sure your curse is not inside the text box because   it won't work so deselect reselect it you can  see my cursor is not inside and then hold down   the alt option key click and drag then I'm simply  going to click inside click and drag across all   of my text and then just insert insert my new text  pop this down at the bottom here so we can see it to make sure this is perfectly lined up  select this box hold down your command   or control key select this box go to  shape format go to align align to left   now that's all lined up again we can borrow this  box so select it alt option key click and drag   and then this time I'm going to select the  text go to the Home tab go to this icon   here which is right align or a line to right  and then I'm going to Simply put my text in okay once you're happy with that we can select  this box again holding down the commander control   key go to shape format align align to right  making sure that's all lined up now you can   see my text in here is Justified what I mean  by that is all the text forms a square so if   I select all the text go to the Home tab and then  go to this icon here you see left aligned Center   right line and justify and justify we'll make sure  the text looks like a neat box once you're happy   with all of this then select it hold down  the command or control key select this box   and this box go to shape format go to groups  click on the drop down and select group and   now all of this is one Element and again you can  move all this round you can change the dimensions and you can make it look exactly how you want so  select it go to shape format align align to Center   which will ensure it's perfectly lined up once  you're done take a careful look at your design   make sure there aren't too many gaps that you  don't like I feel like this is too close to the   top of the page so I'm going to double click  at the top here into my headers and Footers   just going to move this down  slightly move this one down   maybe a little bit more double  click into the main body of it   and I think that looks perfect so if you now  want to save this as a PDF go to file save as   you can go to the bottom here it says file  format click on the drop down and save as a PDF   so you can do that or you can say this is  a template so go to file save as template   and then make sure that this  is selected here templates   and also at the bottom here file format Microsoft  Word template what that means is that you can open   up the word software and in your template will  be this design and when you use it you will be   asked to save it as a new document each  time so you won't overwrite the original   and then just click save so here is the PDF of  the letter and you can see it all looks absolutely   perfect so I hope that's helped you today if it  has please like And subscribe and have a great day
