Templates

To make your life easier when working with Word you can create a template to use that will automatically show your name, the date and any other information you need.

To create a template is easy just follow these steps:

o Open a new Word document.

o Create whatever design you wish to be your master template.

o Insert your name and date into the footer.

o Add some clipart as a background (you will need to change the properties of the image to make it light enough to allow text to be seen over it).

o Go to ‘Save As’ and ensure you save the document with a logical file name AND as a template.

o Click save and your template is done.

Once you have created a template ensure that every time you open a new document you use your template.
