Alison has attended:
Word Intermediate course
Microsoft word 2010
In the training manual sent to me after the course, page 203 states there are two ways to create a template. I want to create my own template. However - Quote: "The other way that you can create a template is to start from a blank document and lay out the template the way you want it."
Please can you tell me where I can find the documented process re how to do this.
Thanks.
RE: Microsoft word 2010
Hi Alison
Thanks for your question - this second approach is simpler than the first. All you need to do is to create the document that you would like to use as a template for future documents. Include standard text, formatting tables and other items as you would do when creating any document. When you are ready to turn it into a template save the document using the template file type. You can see information about how to do this on the next page of the manual but in summary choose File > Save as then in the save as type part of the dialogue box set the type to template and save with an appropriate name.
Now when you go to File > New click on the icon for My Templates and you should see your template listed there. Double click it to make a new document based on your original template.
Let me know how this works for you and if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew
