How to create a Word document like a Business Letter From a     Template

Word comes with its own built-in templates. You may wish to use one of these. But, keep in mind that many other Word users may use these templates. That means you may get a document that looks like someone else’s. What you want to do is to make a good impression and stand out. The best way to do that is with a template.

Step 1. Download the Template on Envato Elements

 

Save the template to your hard drive. Duplicate it, so you’ll always have the original files on hand. These will come in handy in case you want to revert back to the original version of the template.

Step 2. Open the Template in Word

Launch Microsoft Word, then select Open. Follow the rest of the prompts to open the duplicate template file you created earlier.                                                                                                                    

Since I only need the letter template for Word, I’m going to delete the page with the invoice. Go to the invoice page, then click Edit > Select All 

Press the Delete key on your keyboard. Now, only the letter template page remains in the document.

 Step 3. Customize the Letterhead Template for Word

Replace the placeholder text with your own. Double-click into the text boxes to type your own text. You may have to click-and-drag a corner of the text box to make it bigger and accommodate your text.   

Delete any other text boxes and graphic elements you don’t want to use. Use the formatting tools to apply styles to your text and add a bullet list, as you learned to do in the previous section. Finally, insert your logo.

Since we’re not using the large signature, there’s a large space on the lower half of the letter. To balance the page, I moved the entire body of the letter lower on the page.

This is the business letter all done with template.
