Multi-page letterhead in Word
For letters that run long — a full letterhead on page one, a slimmer continuation header on every page after.
Short letters fit on one page. Engagement letters, demand letters, foundation correspondence, and formal filings often don’t — and a letterhead designed for a single page looks wrong when it repeats at full size on page four.
The convention for long letters is a continuation header: the full letterhead appears on page one, and pages two onward carry a slimmer version — often just the firm name or a rule — so the artwork doesn’t crowd the text. Letterhead Lab builds this into your Word file directly.
Upload a PDF, and the conversion sets a first-page header and footer from your full design, then a reduced continuation header for every following page. Word handles the rest natively: type a ten-page letter and the right header appears on each page automatically. Nothing to copy, nothing to maintain.
How the continuation header works
Word supports a “different first page” setting for headers and footers. Letterhead Lab uses it: page one gets your complete letterhead, and pages two and beyond get the continuation header at the height you choose during conversion. You see both in the live preview before you pay.
If your PDF itself has several pages — say a letterhead plus a matching second-sheet design — you can select which pages to include and convert them together. The continuation header, A4 and US Letter sizes, and a .dotx template all come with the $79 Multi-page bundle.
As always, the PDF is processed in your browser and never uploaded. Preview the multi-page layout free, then download the finished Word file.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a continuation header?
- It is the slimmer header used on the second and later pages of a long letter — typically just the firm name or a rule — so the full letterhead does not repeat at full size and crowd the text.
- How does Word show a different header on page one?
- Word has a different-first-page option for headers and footers. Letterhead Lab sets it for you: page one carries the full letterhead, later pages carry the continuation header automatically.
- Can I convert a PDF that has more than one page?
- Yes. If your PDF includes multiple letterhead pages, you can pick which to include and convert them in one go. Single-page pricing is $39 per page; the Multi-page bundle is $79 flat.
- Is the continuation header in the $39 option?
- No. Continuation headers come with the $79 Multi-page bundle, which also includes A4 and US Letter sizes and a .dotx template.
- Will a ten-page letter keep the right header throughout?
- Yes. Once the file is set up, Word applies the first-page header to page one and the continuation header to every page after — for a letter of any length.
