How do I put company letterhead on computer email stationery?
Is there special software that I need to use to get our company stationery
onto our computers for use with email, or is it as simple as using a scanner. |

Well, if you have a logo, then you should build the stationery properly.

It depends on what's in the letterhead. Scanning is one method, but usually
the worst because you end up with large files and a slightly fuzzy graphic. For something as important as company letterhead, re-create it, in the header of a Word template. Enter the text as text (buying the typeface if you need a special one), and go back to source to get a good electronic version of your logo. Scanning might be acceptable for that depending on the logo. This is assuming you are talking about sending Word documents or PDFs created from them as email attachments. If you're talking about putting stationery into ordinary emails, don't do it. Commercial emails should be plain text. To put your letterhead into an ordinary email means sending the email as HTML: a) this is one of the distinguishing features of spam, and b) very many people receive all emails as plain text anyway as an anti-virus measure. So not only will your efforts be wasted, they'll actually be counter-productive.

Jezebel shared this with us in microsoft.public.word.docmanagement:

With a bloody animated gif! It's even used for the internal email. Yesterday one of our pen-pushers offered tickets for Rock Werchter (because her son failed his exams). 8 kilobytes for a message that contained only 43 bytes of useful information!
