Latex Letter: From Address Left aligned

Aishwar picture Aishwar · Nov 27, 2009 · Viewed 13k times · Source

This is my first time using Latex to write a letter. I am using the letter class. When I use:

\address{100 From Address \\ City, State \\ Pin}

The from address becomes right aligned. Is there someway I can make this left aligned. The format of the letter I am looking for is: the from address left aligned, followed by the date left aligned, followed by the to address left aligned, then opening and body, and finally signature left aligned.

I managed to get the signature left aligned by using: \longindentation=0pt, the rest of the items are properly aligned - its just the from address that is right aligned.

The answer is to use the full block letter style - everything left-aligned. In LaTeX that is the block.sty, which you will probably have to install. You can find it here http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/block . Usage is quite simple:

\usepackage{block}
