I went down the path of a custom latex style, with custom exporter some years ago. At the time, I was head of our undergrad committee, and I had to write a lot of memo style documents on department letterhead. This setup allowed me to quickly write memos and export them to pdfs. I also use this for

Oh shoot, I meant to include my sort-of working org text. Not sending the image file, so you will I guess need to supply your own image in the corner -- oh, and also the signature file! - but this is what I have. It sorta works OK and looks at least a little bit like the History Department letterh

Hi again Chris! OK, so I understand a little bit of this. I would like to keep all my letters in subheadings in a single org doc, and just export once. This version requires a fair amount of latex in every subtree. It would be nicer if the exporter just took care of the latex for me and I didn't h

I've never delved into the XML nightmare that is ODT and stick with latex/PDF export. Here is how I handled needing to have a logo and banner at the top of my documents. Essentially, it involves using the Latex 'minipage' environment to setup the layout and the xcolor package to handle colours.

You should be able to make a letterhead template by placing the letterhead in the header, saving it as an ODT styles file and specifically referencing any images in a list in the ODT_STYLES_FILE header. See the manual 12.12.5, "Applying custom styles". When I try it, though, Org fails to parse th

in North America it's letter-of-reference season for professors, and I am writing a lot of them. These are some of the only documents I still compose in libreoffice, because I need to use a letterhead that contains both image and text, and I need to insert a .png of my signature near the bottom. I
