Scan your existing letterhead. The scan should be of a fairly high quality, but it does not have to be super quality. Save the scanned letterhead in a picture format. I saved mine as a *.jpg file, but other formats, such as *.gif, *.tiff, *.jpeg, etc. Will work equally well. Create your Word document as you normally would.
Using letterhead with your business or personal name on it adds to your professional appearance. If you have Microsoft Word, you don't need to shell out money for great looking letterhead.
