Fax Cover Sheets

Fax Cover Sheet on your Letterhead

To set up a fax cover sheet on your letterhead, use the same margins (refer to Stationery System) and typeface (Berthold Garamond Regular, or the basic Garamond typeface that came with your computer) as you use for correspondence. The model above uses Garamond BE Regular. The word "FAX" is in 36 pt. type, while the other information appears in 12 pt. type, double spaced. The blank lines are optional.

Fax Cover Sheet Using Ms-Word Templates

The fax cover sheet templates available in Microsoft Word can be adapted for use within the graphic standards. The two most often-used templates are the "Elegant Fax" and the "Professional Fax."

To adapt the "Elegant Fax," begin by inserting your cursor into the top text box. Go to the "Insert" menu and pull down to "Picture," choosing "From File," and insert the file ua.tif, which is the nameplate version of the UA wordmark. (To get "ua.tif", send an email request to requests@ur.ua.edu.)

Go to the next line and type in your division name, then to the next line to type in your department name. Then select what you have just typed and change the font from Palatino to the version of Garamond you are using.

Select and change the typeface in the remaining two boxes, making sure at last that all type is in your version of Garamond. Then save your template for future use.

To adapt the "Professional Fax," begin by inserting your cursor into the top left text box. Type in the information requested, then select all that you have typed and change the typeface to Goudy Sans Book, 10 pt. Next, insert your cursor into the top right text box. Go to the "Insert" menu and pull down to "Picture," choosing "From File," and insert the file uarev.tif, which is the reversed nameplate version of the UA wordmark. (To get "uarev.tif", send an email request to requests@ur.ua.edu.) Go to the next line and type in your division name, then to the next line to type in your department name. Select what you have just typed and change the font to Goudy Sans Book. Go to the final text box, select and change all type to Goudy Sans Book, then save your template for future use.
