    Letterhead

    Use Letterhead on Computer:  Click on any text and simply overwrite with your text.  In boxes or tables such as header, footer, do the same.  Just click inside the box on the text and overwrite the text.

    Print Letterhead: If you like to have stationary to put in your printer and print onto it you have that option to.  Included is a blank PDF and MS Word doc called “Paper Letterhead”.  Use it with a blank header with the PDF.  If you want to customize it, add your text to the MS Word doc header, then “Save as” PDF.  Now you can print off as many copies as you like for later use.  DPI is set to a very high 600 dpi resolution.  Make sure your printer settings match in order to get the same quality and make sure the layout and edges are the same.  You can down sample to as low as 300 dpi which is standard resolution for print.  I would no down sample more than that.
