Write a letter in Word for the web

Writing a letter like this while you're online is quick and easy.

Letter template

Choose one of our letter templates, and open it in Word for the web to make it yours.

Tip

If you're already in Word for the web, get to the letter templates by selecting File > New > Browse templates.
Browse for templates in Word for the web
In the Search Word templates search box, enter Letters. Letter templates are then displayed.

As you work on the letter, you'll probably want to rename it.

Send your letter

When you're finished, print it or send it out electronically. You can do this with the letter still open in Word for the web. No need to save it first (that's already done for you).

To print it, press Ctrl+P, and wait for the Print dialog.

Note

If you don't see a Print dialog box, click the link for opening a PDF version of your letter. From there, use the PDF program's Print command.

For an electronic version of your letter, send out a link:

  1. Near the top of the screen, click Share.
  2. Under Share, select Copy Link.
    Copy a link to your document in Word for the web
  3. (Optional) Select Settings, and then select who you want to be able to use that link and what they can do with your letter that it links to (such as edit, review, or view).
    Select Settings for your link to your document in Word for the web
  4. Select Apply.
  5. The link is automatically in the Clipboard, so paste (press Ctrl+V) the link it into an email, message, or post.
