letterheadletterstemplates
Is there a template for a letter that allows for the letterhead to have some of its elements on the side (in the left/right margin) in a vertical column or sidebar including a business logo?
Somewhat like
or
If there is no such template, what would be the best way to create one (for someone who has not created a LaTeX template before)?
Use the »scrlttr2« class from the KOMA Script bundle. It supports serial letters and is very flexible. The manual has the details.
You need to create a new static frame:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[draft]{flowfram}
\setlength{\columnsep}{0.5in}
% Column 1, Page 1
\onecolumnStopinarea[1]{0.1\textheight}{\textwidth}{\textheight}{0pt}{0pt}
% Column 1, Page 2+
\onecolumnStopinarea[>1]{0.1\textheight}{0.35\textwidth}{\textheight}{0pt}{0pt}
% Column 2, Page 2+
\onecolumnStopinarea[>1]{0.1\textheight}{0.6\textwidth}{\textheight}{0.4\textwidth}{0pt}
\newstaticframe{\textwidth}{.5in}{0pt}{.9\textheight}[header]
% Static Header
\setstaticframe{all}{label={header}, backcolor=red, textcolor=white}
\begin{document}
\begin{staticcontents*}{header}
\begin{center}
Letterhead
\end{center}
\end{staticcontents*}
\section{Column 1 on Page 1}
\lipsum[1]
\clearpage
\section{Column 1 on Page 2}
\lipsum[1]
\framebreak
\section{Column 2 on Page 2}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

I once created a
scrlttr2template with the contact information on the right and customTikZdrawings on the top. It should be adoptable fairly easily. One can find the TeX code here: TeX code
