I am using the lettre class https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/lettre wich is very convenient for letters that have to fit DL windowed envelopes. Then the To adress fits perfectly the envelope window.

But I have difficulties to modify the header such as shown on the picture below.

I would like to add a logo and custom parameters on it's right and also give a smaller margin to the body of the letter.

I've been trying to play with the default.ins file but without much success. I don't have a good understanding of what parameters to modify. Would someone have an idea?

Here is the current code:

\documentclass[12pt,origdate]{lettre}
\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{luainputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mltex}

\begin{document}


\begin{letter}{ To Name \\ 
                To Street \\ 
                ZIP \& City \\  
                ~ \\  
                ~ }
\lieu{City}


\pagestyle{plain}

\name{Dr~Lorem Ipsum}

\conc{This is the object } 

\opening{Dear Lorem Ipsum,}

\closing{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor.} 

\end{letter}

\end{document}

  • The logo portion can be remedied with \setstackEOL{\\}\address{\includegraphics[height=2cm,width=2cm]{example-image} \sffamily\Longstack[l]{Name\\Website\\Mail\\Tel}}\telephone{}\fax{} (needs graphicx and stackengine packages). – Steven B. Segletes Jun 8 '16 at 13:53
  • Thx for answer. I added the stackengine package through MikTex but I get an "unknown command" for both \setstackEOL and \Longstack. Where could that come from? – michltm Jun 8 '16 at 14:45
  • Apparently, your system does not currently have the stackengine package available. You can download the style file and documentation at ctan.org/pkg/stackengine. In the short term, you can place it in your working directory, though you should find the proper place to install the package in the long term. – Steven B. Segletes Jun 8 '16 at 14:50

    ok, I had made a mistake, the \address{} shouldle be after \begin{letter} and not \begin{document}. Thank you very much Steven B. Segletesn the result is great! Maybe you could add it as a solution? – michltm Jun 9 '16 at 13:47

I remedied the log portion by defining \address as an \includegraphics followed by a \Longstack, and turning off \telephone and \fax.

\documentclass[12pt,origdate]{lettre}
\usepackage[francais]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{luainputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mltex}
\usepackage{stackengine,graphicx}
\begin{document}
\setstackEOL{\\}

\begin{letter}{ To Name \\ 
                To Street \\ 
                ZIP \& City \\  
                ~ \\  
                ~ }

\address{\includegraphics[height=2cm,width=2cm]{example-image}
\sffamily\Longstack[l]{Name\\Website\\Mail\\Tel}}

\telephone{}\fax{}

\lieu{City}


\pagestyle{plain}

\name{Dr~Lorem Ipsum}

\opening{Dear Lorem Ipsum,}
