These .docx files recreate each design's header and colors in a simplified form that's easy to edit. Sidebar and full-bleed designs become clean header versions, because Word headers can't reliably print to the edge of the page.

How to use these templates

  1. Download the .docx file and open it in Word. Or upload it to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs.
  2. Double-click the header at the top of the page to edit the name, tagline and contact details. On some designs the contact details are in the footer, so double-click the bottom of the page.
  3. Add your logo with Insert › Pictures while the header is open.
  4. Match your brand by selecting the text and changing the font and color.
  5. Save it as a template (File › Save As › Word Template (.dotx)) so every new letter starts clean.

Full instructions are in how to make a letterhead and the Word letterhead tutorial.
