Word: Use the document as a template - how it works

If you often use the same Word documents in a slightly modified form, you can save a lot of work with a template. If you use such a template, Word automatically creates a copy of the file so that your template is not changed. For example, you can create letter templates and frequently used business forms.

How to create templates in Word

• First, type the template into a normal, blank Word document.
• When you are finished saving the document, select "Save File As ..." and click "Trusted Templates".
• Enter a file name such as "Standard letter form" and select the "Word template" as file type.
• If you open the template later, it will be shown as a working copy and can be saved as a new document.
