Document Header Template Tag

Updated over 8 months ago

This logo is applied when the template tag <adc_DefaultHeader> is used in document templates.

Gardiant Works' document template process will not resize this logo, so make sure it does not exceed the available space within your document headers. To calculate the image's size, divide the image's pixel dimensions by 96 to get its size in inches. Please keep in mind that default Word Documents affords about 6.5 inches of horizontal space, which gives a soft maximum of 624 pixels wide. If you would like to fit additional text to the side of the image in your templates, it will need to be smaller to make room.

A good document header will:

  • Include your firm's branding

  • Optionally incorporate your firm’s basic contact information (though including this as actual text in the document template will generally look better)

  • Be pre-sized not much wider than 624 pixels (6.5 inches) or taller than 120 pixels (1.25 inches)

Here is an example of a good header (border added for clarity):
