How to Create Letterhead Logos in Microsoft Word

You can use Word to design corporate letterhead.

Microsoft Word can be used for many different purposes, from sending special offer letters to potential clients to building a killer resume. Microsoft Word can also be helpful when designing a new logo for your business. The clip art and image features of Microsoft Word make it easy for business owners to design a corporate logo, sketch it out, scan it and use it to create customized and professional letterhead for the organization.

Things You'll Need

• Scanner

Instructions

1. Sketch out your corporate logo using a pen and a piece of paper. Review your work carefully and make any changes to the design.

2. Place your design face down on the scanner and use the scanning software to scan the image. Highlight the image and click "Save." Save the image to your hard drive in either .jpg, .bmp or .tif format. Using the .bmp or .tif format can often provide a sharper image, since those formats use less compression than the .jpg format.

3. Open Microsoft Word and create a new document. Save the document to your hard drive using a descriptive name, such as "Company Letterhead."

4. Type your company name, address and slogan at the top of the page. Format the text according to your company standards.

5. Move your cursor to the spot where the company logo is to appear. Click on the "Insert" menu and choose "Picture" from the list. Choose the "From File" option and browse to the spot where you saved the scanned image.

6. Highlight the file and click the "Insert" button to import your company logo. Save the file to complete building your company letterhead.
