Printing my own "Yellow Letter"

[Jeff Warner]

I'm curious if anyone has printed their own yellow letter? I know how to scan in your own writing and all that but my writing sucks anyway so that's kind of a waste of time. The reason is because I found a font that looks VERY GOOD! The font is called Brian Scratch for anyone that is interested, just don't use it for comma's or apostrophes.

Anyway, I am using Word 2003 and I can't get the text to line up properly with the lines. Does anyone have a template for the older version of word???

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I put together a walk-through on how to make a yellow letter in your word processing software at my blog

All you need to do after you have it set up is put some yellow notebook paper in your printer and mess around with the margins and spacing until everything lines up fairly close with the lines on the paper. Don't worry about making it perfect. The way I see it, if you're printing the yellow letters yourself it's because you don't have the $$$ to outsource the job and you're sending too many to be hand writing them yourself. I got a 4% response with hand written letters to ~75 ugly houses (and believe me, that SUCKED writing 75 letters by hand, I don't care HOW short they were), 5% response with a slightly longer letter that I printed on the computer, and an 8% response from nearly 500 letters to absentee owners with equity... so maybe printing them doesn't squeeze every last % response rate out of your mailing, but 8% from 475+ letters that took me an hour and a half to print (slow printer + ran in to a few problems with my computer) sure beats writing them all by hand! :mrgreen:
