Insert a logo

A business letter without a logo is about as pretty as a brick in the wall. Use your logo, or your corporate identity, to increase the recognition of your business letters. We will now add a logo to our business letter, too.

• Choose the menu item Paste in Place in the File menu, and navigate to your logo file in the file selector. If iCalamus doesn't support a file format, it is shown disabled (in gray).

  

• Click on [Open] to import your desired file, and this will create a new frame containing the logo.

  

• More than likely your logo will not be the right size. Keep the [Control] key pressed and click into the logo frame (or do a right-click if your mouse offers more than one button). A context menu then shows various functions for this frame content.
• Choose the menu item Adjust, and select Restore Original Content Size from the sub menu. The logo will then be shown in its original size in the frame.
• Now choose Adjust: Adjust Frame to Original Content Size in order to reset the frame size itself to the required size.

  

• Now you can place the logo above the sender information block. If a feeling of having lost the frame content comes over you, you might have unwittingly moved the frame without its content. If you want to move the frame and its content at the same time, you have to pay attention to the Transform Content switch in the action menu of the Geometry inspector. When it is checked, the frame and its content are moved and treated as a unit.

  

• When you are done with this operation, the upper right area of your business letter should look similar to this one:
