Yer, think that OP just wants to have a left and right column with a line between them, but with the uppermost lines not constrained to that format.  The Black lines on the image aren't relevant and show why so many 'back of the envelope' calculations fail.

Can also do with two columns, just putting a bold border on the right side of the first. 



Get rid of the dots on the cells except for the thick one that you want to keep.


Using Insert table, then "Home" and the little icon that looks like a Windowframe > 'Borders and shading'.

Hi,

I am totally dum with computers, well, 30 percent knowledgeable. Can you please tell me step by step :
1- draw a table-  of 2 rows and 2 columns.
3- stat typing the text of the letter in the left column, and the address in the right column. wont the address bit move downward when i m typing the text in the left column or will it stay put ?
4- how do i remove all the borderlines of the table ??  (but after removing all the borders of the table (will?) this way even after i remove all the border lines of the table, wont the line just before the address bit which i want it to stay there, also be removed. the line i want to leave, just before the address text will also be removed.)

This might work for you:-

For Text Box

Insert  -  Text Box – Simple Text Box

Drag box to position and resize  as required

Right Click in Text Box to highlight

Right Click on edge of Text Box again for menu

Select - Wrap Text – More Layout Options – Text Wrapping – Square

Adjust Distance from text as required – OK

 Right Click on Text Box to highlight

Right Click on edge of Text Box again for menu

Select – Format Shape – Line Colour – No Line - Close

For Line

Insert  -  Shapes – Line (far left)

Left click in document to place a line

Right Click on Line to highlight

Right Click on Line again for menu

If your logo is a photo, jpg or png file you can insert it in to the document as Picture and edit it in a similar way as the Text Box.

The borders on the logo box and text box can be easily removed, I have left them on the example just for reference.
