Multi-page filings on firm letterhead in Word

Convert your firm’s letterhead into a Word file built for long documents — full letterhead on page one, a clean continuation header on every page after.

Long filings break a single-page letterhead

Plenty of what a firm produces does not fit on one page. Memoranda of law, settlement agreements, lengthy correspondence, and formal filings run to four, eight, twelve pages.

A letterhead designed for a one-page letter was never meant to repeat at full size on every one of them — the full logo and address block on page nine of a brief looks wrong, and it pushes the text into an awkward column.

The formal convention is well established: the full letterhead appears on page one, and pages two onward carry a slimmer continuation header — often just the firm name, a matter reference, or a thin rule. Reproducing that by hand in Word is fiddly. It means configuring different first-page headers, building a second header by hand, and hoping the next person to edit the document does not break the setup.

A filing-ready letterhead, configured once

Letterhead Lab’s Multi-page bundle builds the continuation treatment into the Word file for you. The conversion sets the full letterhead as the first-page header and footer, then a lighter continuation header for every following page.

You choose the continuation header’s height in the live preview before you download — so it carries exactly what your filings should carry, and no more.

From there, Word does the rest natively. Its different-first-page behavior is exactly what long filings need, and the converted file has it configured correctly from the start. An associate types a twelve-page memorandum and the full letterhead stays on page one while the continuation header repeats from page two to the end — no manual header setup, nothing to break on the next edit.

The bundle also delivers the file as a .dotx template and includes A4 alongside US Letter, which matters for firms filing across jurisdictions. Convert the letterhead once, and every long document the firm produces — filings, agreements, memos — is built on a letterhead that behaves correctly from page one to the last.

Frequently asked questions

What is a continuation header?
It is the slimmer header on pages two and later of a long document — typically the firm name or a matter reference — so the full letterhead does not repeat at full size and crowd the text.
Can I control how much the continuation header shows?
Yes. You set its height in the live preview before downloading, so it carries only what your filings should carry on later pages.
Does Word keep the right header on every page?
Yes. The converted file uses Word's different-first-page setting, so page one gets the full letterhead and every page after gets the continuation header automatically.
Is multi-page support included in the $39 option?
No. Continuation headers are part of the $79 Multi-page bundle, which also includes .dotx templates and both A4 and US Letter sizes.
Will the filing still look right exported to PDF?
Yes. The headers and footers are part of the Word document, so they carry through whether you print it or export a PDF for electronic filing.
