Document or Classic Email Layout

For your convenience, eTapestry provides several layouts for you to select from as you create documents or classic emails. These layouts make it easy to create a professional, attractive email or document by simply customizing the images, text, and links already inserted in the layout.

Note: Depending on your internet browser, some differences may occur between the preview of your communication and its final appearance. We recommend that you test to ensure your communication renders as you have designed it and make any necessary adjustments.

There are five categories of layouts.

The Newsletters category contains pre-made layouts whose formatting can easily be used to set up professional and eye-catching newsletters. These layouts are characterized by containing multiple images, links, columns, and sections for articles.

Note: Email is the primary use for this template. When you attempt to generate Newsletter templates as Word documents, you may receive an error message in Word, and the template may not open correctly or look exactly like it does in the HTML editor or in emails. If you must generate your Newsletter as a document, we recommend generating a .pdf file.

The Events category contains fifteen pre-made layouts formatted for use as invitations and sign in cards. These layouts are characterized by their brief text and spaces for event details.

The Documents category contains thirteen pre-made layouts formatted for use as letters and receipts. These layouts are characterized by having standard letter styles and few images, though more images can be inserted in the layout after it has been selected for use. Several of these layouts contain pre-selected merge fields and widgets, which can also be edited once the layout has been selected.

Note: These layouts automatically select the page size 8.5 by 11 inches. To print them on paper with different dimensions, be sure to set the dimensions using the Document Options in Step 1 of the communication template wizard.

The Envelopes category contains pre-made layouts formatted for use when creating envelopes. These layouts correspond to thirteen different envelope sizes (#10, #11, #12, #14, #16, #05, #06, #07, #09, Monarch, Check, A2 Invitation, and A4 Invitation).

The envelope layouts are pre-populated with the recipient address fields, the return address fields (based on your organization's Persona field data), and a logo image space in the return address block. You can edit the template to remove or update the merge fields and logo.

When an Envelope layout is chosen, the page size and margins automatically adjust to the correct dimensions to fit the standard envelope sizes listed below.

Note: If you adjust the page size or margins manually, it may cause your envelopes to print incorrectly.

  • #10 - 9.5" x 4.125"

  • #11 - 10.375" x 4.5"

  • #12 - 11" x 4.75"

With the exception of the Envelopes category, all categories include Blank Template as the first option layout. When you select a blank template, you create your own content in Advanced Editor Mode without pre-formatted information.
