Uploading Correspondence Letterhead

You can upload image files to create a custom letterhead to use for correspondence letters and invoices, provided it meets the specifications required for correspondence letters. You can upload multiple images to each section. The files must be 1 MB or less per letterhead section and can be TIFF/TIF, JPEG/JPG, GIF, PNG, or BMP.
