Hello, I designed a logo and also a logo page in Illustrator. How do I plant the logo page in a word file to use it? The logo page has the logo at the top and the address at the bottom. And in the middle of a watermark drawing.

I would divide the parts of the word page.

For the watermark, PNG is the best. The address, if it's just a text line, you can better type directly in Word, in its footer.

For the header logo, there are some options. You can use PNG, but in this case, you have to set the image size precisely to keep the best quality. You can also export the logo to EMF/WMF, they are native office vector formats and look very good when you change their size.

PNG is the best format to use in Word (and PowerPoint) documents. 

Insert into the header (Insert tab) and background (Design tab).

You can import EPS, SVG or PDF. What would be the reason why PNG is the best choice?

I'm assuming you are using a Mac?

 

On Windows (the majority of Word users):

  • EPS is not a supported format (and doesn't support transparency).
  • PDF is not a "default" importable format. As a workaround, one can place it as an Object but it will rasterize--negating the benefit of the PDF. (PDFs stay vector on Mac but get converted to .emf files when transferred to Windows.)
  • SVG is supportable and should work fine, but it can sometimes be problematic in Word so I would hesitate to give one to a client. 

For the OPs purpose, I would say still PNG would be the best option.

Export the parts of the artwork in a file format that works in this situation. Then set up a document in word with backgrounds, footer and header, text styles.

 

The export format you choose has to work for importing the artwork into word but also for the output when your client prints it.

save as your design from illustrator to be PDF, then open the PDF on acrobat, file> export as> word document

 

you will have the header and footer correctly on the word page.
