Page Layout ⇒ Creating a letterhead

[haack]

Hi,

I am fairly new to La-Tex... I am trying to find a way to make my firm's letterhead appear at the top of a letter I create with La-Tex. Currently, I am simply creating the letter, then printing it on letterhead, and finally rescanning it in as a PDF. How can I learn to use newlfm? Is it something I purchase?

I'm killing so many trees and a ton of time with my current method, any help will be greatly appreciated!

I don't know the newlfm class. You can create letters with custom heads very easy by means of the »scrlttr2« class which is part of the KOMA Script bundle. But I think for both classes it will require additional tools to translate your company's design to a letterhead.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Does the letterhead include graphic elements or is it all text.

At least if it's all text you could look at the fancyhdr class:
http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackage ... d=fancyhdr

I think fancyhdr would work fine even if you have graphic element(s), but in that case you'd need to insert graphic figures into the fancyhdr headers you define and reference the graphic file(s) on disk.

The concerned class has its own structures for generating a letterhead. So an additional package will not be necessary.
