What are Word Templates?
Word templates are pre-designed documents that provide a structure for various types of documents, such as letters, resumes, reports, and more. They save time and effort by giving you a starting point, allowing you to focus on the content rather than formatting.
How to Access Templates

Launch the program on your computer.
2. Go to the File Tab: Click on "File" in the top left corner.
3. Select New: This will show you options for creating a new document.
4. Browse Templates: You can either:
- Search for a specific template using the search bar.
- Browse through categories like "Business," "Personal," "Academic," etc.
How to Use a Template
1. Choose a Template: Once you find a template you like, click on it to see a preview.
2. Create Document: Click the "Create" button to open a new document based on the selected template.
3. Edit the Content: Replace the placeholder text with your own information. You can also modify images, fonts, and formatting as needed.
4. Save Your Document: Once you are satisfied with the changes, go to "File" and click "Save As" to save your document in your desired location.
Tips for Using Templates
- Customise as Needed: Feel free to adjust layouts, colors, and fonts to match your style or branding.
- Save Your Own Templates: If you create a document that you would like to use again, save it as a template by selecting "Save As" and choosing the template format (.dotx).
- Check for Updates: Microsoft often updates its templates, so check regularly for new designs and options.
