MOAC Word Lesson 12 Templates
Software Orientation • You can work more efficiently by basing many of your new documents on templates that Word provides—many choices are available for working with templates, as shown below.
Working with Templates • A template is a master document with predefined page layout, fonts, margins, and styles that is used to create new documents that will share the same basic formatting. • Using templates keeps you from having to recreate documents such as interoffice memorandums, monthly newsletters that you share with employees, recordings of minutes from meetings, and more. • In Backstage, the New command allows you to work with templates that are already installed, search for a template online, open a blank template, or create your own template.
Working With Templates • You can choose from many different categories of templates, such as letters, memos, resumes, flyers, forms, and more. • Some templates are preinstalled with Word and there are more options available online. • Templates are reusable even if you saved the document with a different file name. • In the following exercise, you will locate an installed template.
Step-by-Step: Locate a Template Installed on Your Computer • If necessary, before you begin these steps, launch Word. • Click the File tab, then select New. • In the Available Templates categories, click SampleTemplates.

Templates created will open as a document based on the template selected and will affect only that document.
