RE: Template
Hi Mary
Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum. You can create a template by going to the File menu and choosing Save As... At the bottom of the dialog box set the save as type to template and save your file.
Now when you go to File > New and from the Task pane choose Templates on my computer you will find your template in the general tab.
I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew
