A letterhead is the first section a reader will read on a letter. A letterhead should include a legal name of the individual, group, or company you are sending it to. It should also contain a telephone number, a fax if you have one, a complete mailing address: street address including building, room, suite number, or post office box, along with city, state and postal code.

When you have chose your picture, click it so it can insert into your letterhead. The picture may be to big for a logo, so you need to go to you Picture Tools tab and click the size button and size your picture to the size that you want. When you have completed this, stay in your Picture Tools tab and click the Recolor button in the Adjust group and have the color match your Name color as well. The best to color to choose will be in the Light Variations group.

The fourth step is to go to your Home tab and click the little arrow in the corner of your Paragraph group. A dialogue box should appear. Go to the bottom of the box and click the Tabs button.

Also include your phone number and fax, if you have one, and also an email address. Once you have completed this, go up to your Home tab and into your Font group and change the font color using the Font Color button. Make sure your information color matches that of your name and logo.

The sixth step is to go up to your paragraph group and click the Border button while still having your cursor in your information that you just typed. Select the Bottom Border button. Then hit the Return key. You will see the border went down as well so you then have to click the Clear Formatting button in the Font group. This will put the border under your logo and information only.

The seventh step is you have to go to your email address. You may have noticed that it is highlighted meaning it is a hyperlink. You must take this off so right click the email address and go to the Remove Hyperlink button and click it. The hyperlink should now be removed.

And that's how you make a letterhead.

Why is the computer powerful?

The computer is powerful because it helps us communicate with people. For example, if I want to talk to someone from across the world using the computer, we can do an online webcam conversation or by email. We could also IM each other and communicate that way. It makes it so much easier than having to raise the phone bill to talk with someone from across the world or saving the expenses to go visit them and talk face to face whenever the we feel like talking.
