Microsoft Word allows you to create your own Document Templates which can be used as a starting point for your documents. This is the perfect way for you to embed your own custom letterhead and logo in all of your RealtyJuggler Letters. To create and use your own letterhead, follow the instructions below.
If your letterhead will include your return address and contact information, you should tell RealtyJuggler to not include that information when downloading letters. To do this, go to the: Main:Settings:Preferences section and click on the 'Mail' tab and empty out the field containing your return address and contact information.

Further Information
Would you rather hire someone to create your Microsoft Word Template? Contact any graphic design studio that specializes in logo designs and letterheads. They can create your Microsoft Word template document along with any other requirements you have, such as business cards and signs. Just make sure to tell them that you want your letterhead placed in the header/footer of a Microsoft Word document.
Limitations
This solution will work for letterhead designs that are only at the top and bottom of a page. If your letterhead design is along the edge of the page as well, you can use Microsoft Publisher, Apple Pages or a similar page layout program. Alternatively, you can pre-print your letterhead on the paper that you feed into your printer.
