How to Make a Cover Letter on Microsoft Word

1. Open Microsoft Word and click the Office button located at the top-left corner of the screen.
2. Click 'New' when the Office menu opens. You can create a new document or open a template here.
3. Type 'cover letter' in the Microsoft Office Online toolbar. A list of cover letter templates will open.
4. Select one of the cover letter templates and click 'Download.' The cover letter will open in a new document.
5. Remove the sample information from the cover letter and insert your information, such as your name and address and the recipient's name and address. Be careful not to change the formatting when adding your information, since the templates are in standard cover letter formatting.
