Customize font styles and size <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A well-chosen font style and size ensures information is easy to read which helps avoid confusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In letterheads, stick to classic font styles like Arial, Times New Roman, or Calibri because they are clean and lack intricate details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For font size, pick a size that&#8217;s large enough (12 pts) to be read but not too big. You don&#8217;t want your text to scream at the reader, but also not make them squint to read your message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Leverage Word&#8217;s in-built design tools <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To add life and visual appeal to letterheads, Word offers features that are not obvious such as text effects, ability, watermarks, and borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Borders:<\/strong> Can be used to visually separate information.
