Creating a template in MS Word allows you to save a custom layout and design that you can reuse across multiple documents. Templates are great for creating consistent documents like letters, resumes, and reports.
Here’s how to create a template:
- Create a New Document:
- Open a new document in MS Word and format it as you wish, adding any elements like headers, footers, fonts, or styles that you want to include in your template.
- Save as a Template:
- Once you’re satisfied with the layout, go to “File” > “Save As.”
- Choose “Word Template” from the “Save as type” drop-down menu. Save the file with a .dotx extension.
- Use the Template:
- To use the template, go to “File” > “New,” then select “Personal” to find your saved templates. Choose the template, and start creating your document based on your custom design.
Templates are an excellent way to save time and maintain consistency across documents.
