My university, just like many other institutions, isn't really aware of something called LaTeX. Therefore, the letterhead comes only in MS Word. The following (low quality) image is the best guide I have that describes the measurements, margins, and fonts. I will need to reproduce the letterhead (some measurements are, at best, odd).
The University's logo is available at WSU visual identity web site as shown below
I know I can place the logo at the prescribed location using textpos
package, but how can I add the horizontal line and the flushright text?
Best Answer
See the edit below.
Here's my first attempt at this. The code is reasonably commentated but essentially I'm using
textpos
for placing the logo,tikz
for adding the extra horizontal line, andgeometry
to set the margins. The subheader is placed usingtextpos
and\hfill
. The footer is placed at the bottom of the page using\vfill
. This works for one-page letters, but not for longer letters (which will hopefully be avoided anyways). A better solution might be to usefancyhdr
.Here's the result:
EDIT
The following is a better way to do this. The common definitions are put in a separate file. Headers and footers are used to place the letterhead components, so there is no problem with letters that are longer than one page.
\AtBeginDocument
and\AtEndDocument
are used to place the salutation and signature. The actual letter just needs to\input
these definitions and add appropriate\renewcommand

The missing
}
at the end of the Common Definitions code block as been fixed.Common Definitions:

This can be as simple as the following:
