Thanks for your input 🙌 Here is my thoughts. You can't design a logo in Word. Certainly not a good one. Using high quality export of 300ppi should aleviate any pixelation. I've exported at 72ppi and not seen pixelation especially viewed at 100%
@@ArdentDesigns I have never implied you can design a logo in ms word, I said when exporting the letter head for ms wordin illustrator tbe best format is WMF, far better than 300 pixel png, try it and see.
Thank you for this video, it helped me a lot. I followed all your steps and but did some testing of my own with different file formats. The one that worked the best for me was the SVG file. Once I exported to pdf, the quality of the SVG file remained very sharp and never pixilated no matter how much I zoomed in to the document.
Thank you so much for putting this video together. It was easy to understand: but with the margins at 0, the customer won't be able to use default formatting, right?
better fix for the cursor placement: define the doc's margins to a typeable area that works visually within the stationary. then save as a Word template.
Thanks so much for this excellent explanation! I'm having the same problem I see others have had. At the very end where you would replace the margins for content, my whole footer jumps off center. Any solutions?
Once I had to figure out how to do this myself and I thought others might benefit too. I used the Student version, and I'm not sure if it is different than other versions. Unfortunately I am not a Word expert, so I cannot say what happened for you. Sorry I couldn't help :(
I think I solved the problem: make sure you put both horizontal and vertical absolute position to the right of / below PAGE! it worked here. 3:46 in the video! hope it works for you too!
Everything works good, thanks for that but while changing the margin size the positioning of the image we added also moves along the cursor. Why? Help here would be much appreciated :-)
Great tutorial! How would you design a custom newsletter in illustrator and they converted over to Microsoft word so that it’s editable. I’m trying to include headers for each section fits well finding it a bit cumbersome.
No, it should not distort. Logos should be exported from Illustrator at 300 dpi. If your file is vector then it should be fine. Poor quality images should not be used.
well I'm the one that didn't work for (surprise surprise) Everything is fine until the last step. I "close Header and Footer" and the images goes gray. But i have no blinking cursor. no cursor AT ALL. What have i missed? (please don't say it's because i'm on a mac) (Also Why it this so Hard in word?!. Why can't you put an image into the background, lock it, and get on with life)
Oh yikes! Well it is ok if it fades. It will print ok. I don't know why the curser is gone. Does this occur when you save it, close and restart it? I'm not a Word expert per se, but I had to figure it out because a client wanted it. I thought it might help some other people :/
@@ArdentDesigns thanks for the reply. I was able to find the curser. it's behind the art /header so it's invisible as long as the art is there. I've double checked that the "background" position setting is on. and it is but it's not working so I'm a drift here. Also when i add the "margins step" the header background moves. I've tried the watermark version to create the same effect and i have similar issues (moving background when i change margins. that is). I've got a client that wants this as well and i'm at a lost as to what to do. thanks again for the reply.
The best format for MS word is WMF rather than PNG. P{NG gets pixelated when you export as PDF.

@@HoomanM I see 🙂. Thanks for sharing that!
Agreed!
@@HoomanM what's WMF?
This is probably the best explanation I've come across. Thank you!!
Awesome :)
@@ArdentDesigns hi...good video..I have one question..from where u got this design and 0.26 is which screen..can u explain if u don't mind
THANK YOU for this! Easy to follow and understand and no unnecessary info/chatter.
Totally! You're welcome 🙂
Thank you! It's a seemingly simple task, but most of us don't know how to do it properly. I really needed this tutorial. Thank you!
I will drop a thank you note every time I use this video for my design work. This is my 2nd time. Thank you

I missed a step initially, so now I can do this with full confidence.
Perfect, there are loads off ways doing it but your way is the most straight forward way, thank you for sharing,

Hi
Thank you so much!
thank you, your video is really heplfull
Good way to teach
When I add the margin the entire artwork moves as well
i got the correct solution ... thank you
You are welcome 🙂
Everything works good, thanks for that but while changing the margin size the positioning of the image we added also moves along the cursor. Why? Help here would be much appreciated :-)
I don't know. The curser should not be in the header/footer at all.
@@ArdentDesigns It comes to the same place exactly where it was showed in the video as I followed the same steps showed in the video.
@@darshandavey9621 Did you find a solution? I have the exact same problem
@@Fouado90 No, not yet.
Do let me know if you find one!!
@@darshandavey9621 I tried: View > Master Document and then set the margins on that (with the header and footer closed)

Great tutorial! How would you design a custom newsletter in illustrator and they converted over to Microsoft word so that it’s editable. I’m trying to include headers for each section fits well finding it a bit cumbersome.
Hello, great tutorial! How can you make a second page with a different background? Best
Hi so I use the cc 2018 and I don't have the artboard option when I save as what's the best option to go
Just wondering why you would increase the page size to 8.625?
To give it a "bleed". 1/8 inch added is 8.625 x 11.125 or rounded to 8.63 x 11.13 inches.
@@ArdentDesigns Gotcha! But doesn't it still crop and add a white border anyway? Thanks for answering :)
But why if direct print from the word , the footer did not show up ? how to adjust this one ?
...it works in MS Word...wanna try in Excel for quotes and receipts
THANK. YOU!
Phew, youtube to the rescue! Thanks.
which format is best for printing? word or pdf?
Thank youuuuuuu
Thank you..
Great.
Hello what is the height of paper?
Thanks
Dunno why the video isn't clear, but I can't see the dimensions for the paper size. And you didn't say
Excuse me what is a letterhead logo in information technology ? Can someone explains it
WHY IS THE COLOR OPACITY REDUCING AFTER GETTING OUT OF HEADER SETINGS
It is the nature of Word doc. When it is printed it is full colour.
hey after exporting the document, my logo is distorting in pdf file. is that normal?
No, it should not distort. Logos should be exported from Illustrator at 300 dpi. If your file is vector then it should be fine. Poor quality images should not be used.
