A letterhead is the heading at the top of a letter paper. It usually consists of a company name and the company address. It can also contain a company logo and other contact information.

The letterhead can be saved as a template so that it can be reused for additional letters. In this step-by-step picture tutorial, you will see how to create a letterhead in Microsoft Word 2007.

Now choose the font style and size according to your requirement.
You can further choose to align the text according to your requirement. You can choose to keep the font to the left of the page, or center-text it or you could even choose to right-align it.
If you wish to remove the spacing between the lines, then you can simply change the style and select No Spacing from the Styles box.
