Am I being unreasonable in thinking that this request is unreasonable? (Given that I also have no computer programs to make the letterhead IN.)
Umh. *scratches head* I'm rather a Unix than a Windows admin, but there are tons of companies where "the letterhead" to be used with Word is actually a
template you load when starting to write the letter, and has been created and saved with Word itself. Implying that the letterhead gets printed
together with the letter, rather than having it preprinted on the stationery. (Which one could
still design with Word unless you want capabilities that your print shop has but not your computer printer at home - the typical example being colored areas that extend all the way to the edge of the paper.)
There are letterhead templates that you can download from the Internet, which is what I'ld suggest because it hopefully gets you started OK with the
positioning of the individual parts. (Read: Sender and recipient address being properly aligned with the envelope's window.) Note that you'll have to work with whatever standard measurements of paper and envelopes exist in your country, so don't download just
any template. (In particular, all *I* could give you would be for A4 paper and DIN's standards for letterhead arrangements.)
The rest is adapting to the info (phone, fax, e-mail, bank account, tax ID, mail address, street address, ...), logo, and corporate identity (exact colors etc.) of the company in question - which sounds doable in 2h *if* said company has all that defined and at hand as files on the 'puter ...
Pro tip: When inserting images,
crop them properly. Do
not take an image that has tons of white around the actual art, magnify it, and plop it onto the template thinking that "white is white". Computers don't really know "white", they
will balk at "image extends into keep-out area" if you ever send such a document to a print-and-send service.
