Chapter 23
WORKING WITH TEMPLATES
Templates can be a huge time saver for occasions when you need to make many
documents with the same types of formatting. In this module, youll learn about
using templates in Word 2016. Then youll learn how to modify an existing
template. Youll also learn how to create a new template. This module explains
how to apply a template to an existing document so that you can quickly
reformat a document. Finally, youll learn how to manage your templates.
About Templates
Templates provide a consistent, familiar look to your documents. It is a
convenient, time-saving way to create documents rather than modifying another
document or starting from scratch each time. You may already be familiar with
using the templates provided by Word.
Did you know that these templates could be modified so that you can create
multiple documents from the modified template? You may want to start with a
design from an Office.com template, but customize it for your purposes. Then
you can create multiple documents from the modified template.
You can also create your own template. This allows you to completely customize
the blueprint for the documents that will be based on your template. You can
customize everything about the template, creating placeholders for styles,
spacing and other design elements instead of adding content to the document.
Finally, you can even reformat a document that has already been created by
applying a new template to the document. In this way, you can use different
branding for different scenarios for the same document.
Here are some important tips to remember to maximize the benefit of using
templates.
Use Global settings instead of local ones. Global settings are the settings that
affect the entire document (or most of it), such as themes and styles. Local
settings are those that you have applied to a single object or paragraph. Just
remember that you can quickly reformat a document by changing a style if
styles were used consistently throughout the document. If the style is in the
template from the beginning, it makes the formatting (or reformatting) that
much easier.
Similarly, use alignment and indents for paragraph spacing instead of using tabs
or spaces. Tabs and spaces can cause problems when you replace placeholder
text in a template with other content.
Use tables for positioning items like graphics. Again, your spacing can be
changed when you replace placeholder content with real content. Use a table
with no borders instead and the spacing will stay the same for every document
based on that template.
Modifying an Existing Template

To modify an existing template, use the following procedure.
Step 1: Open the file that you want to modify. The templates are stored in the

C:\Users\user name\App Data\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

Step 3: Highlight the file you want to modify and select Open.
Step 4: Make the changes you want to have applied to future documents based
on this template, including styles, page layouts, placeholder content, etc.
Step 5: Save the file.
Creating a New Template

To create a template, use the following procedure.
Step 1: Create a new, blank document.
Step 2: Make the changes you want to have applied to future documents based
on this template, including styles, page layouts, placeholder content, etc. You can
control any settings for the template to create consistency in future documents
based on this template.
Step 3: Select the File tab from the Ribbon to open the Backstage View.
Step 4: Select Save As.
Step 5: Navigate to the following location in the Save As dialog box:
C:\Users\user name\App Data\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
Step 6: Select Word Template or Macro-Enabled Word template (dotx or dotm)

from the Save as Type drop down list.
Step 7: Select Save.

View.
