When you save a document as a template, you can use this template to create new documents. These new documents contain all text (and images and other content), which contains a template. They also have the same settings, partitions and styles of the page layout as a template. Templates can save you a lot of time when you create multiple documents that must have a consistent layout, format and some text template.

How to save a document as a template

The first thing you need to do is create your document as you want to look like new documents. Divide the text (and etc.) until the material of the template you want to display in new documents. Further adjust the page layout (fields, partitions, columns, etc.), as well as any formatting and styles you want to use.

After entering the name for your template, open the name of the name field drop-down menu, and then select the Word Template (* .dotx) parameter.

You saved your own Word template.

How to create a new document based on template

After you have saved your own template, you can create new documents based on it. The easiest way to do is just run Word.

Its pop-up screen shows a bunch of templates that are built-in or downloadable. At the top of the window, click the "Personal" link to display your own templates. Then everything you need to do is click on the desired template, and Word creates a new document based on it.

By default, Word loves to save templates in Documents \\ Custom Office Templates, where they will be displayed along with the templates that you create in any other Office application.

When you save the template, you can choose another location if you want. The problem is that if you save it elsewhere, Word may not be able to see it and display on the screensaver as an option. If it is not very important to you, save them anywhere. You can create a new template based document, just double-click the template file.

You can also open the template in Word so that it can be edited by right-clicking the file, and then selecting the Open command from the context menu.

If you need an even more organized approach, you can change the default location. This allows you to save templates where you want (although they still have to be in one place) and have access to them on the Word screensaver.

In the File menu, select the "Parameters" command. In the Word Settings window, select the "Saving" category on the left. On the right, enter the path in which you want to save templates in the "Location of Personal Templates by default". Click "OK" when you finish.

In the end, Word templates are functionally similar to normal Word documents. The big difference is how Word processes these files, which simplifies the creation based on their new documents.

If you often work in MS Word, saving the document as a template will probably interest you. Thus, the presence of a template file, with the formatting, fields you installed, fields and other parameters, can largely simplify and speed up the workflow.

The template created in the Word is saved in DOT, DOTX or DOTM formats. The latter allows work with macros.

Template - This is a special type of document, when opening it and subsequent change, a copy of the file is created. The source (template) document remains unchanged, as well as its location on the disk.

As an example of how the document template may be and why it is generally needed, a business plan can be brought. Documents of this type are quite often created in Word, therefore, they are also used quite often.

So, instead of creating a document structure every time, choose suitable fonts, design styles, set the fields of fields, you can simply use a template with a standard layout. Agree, this approach to work is much more rational.

A document saved as a template can be opened and fill out the necessary data, text. At the same time, keeping it in standard DOC and DOCX formats for Word, the source document (created template) will remain unchanged, as mentioned above.

Most templates that you may need to work with documents in Word can be found on the official website (). In addition, in the program you can create your own templates, as well as modify existing ones.

Note: Some templates are already built into the program, but some of them, although it is displayed in the list, is actually on Office.com. After you click on this template, it will be instantly downloaded from the site and is available for work.

Creating your own template

The easiest way to start creating a template from an empty document, to open which just run Word.

If you use one of the latest MS Word versions, when you open the program, you will encounter a start page on which one of the available templates can already be selected. Especially pleased that they are all conveniently sorted by thematic categories.

And yet, if you yourself want to create a template, select "New document". A standard document with default settings installed in it will be opened. These parameters can be both software (specified developers) and you created (if you previously saved certain values \u200b\u200bas the defaults used).

Using our lessons, make the necessary changes to the document, which will be used as a template.

In addition to the execution of the above actions as the default parameters for the document, which will be used as a template, you can also add a substrate, watermarks or any graphic objects. All you change will add and save in the future will be present in each document created on the basis of your template.

Working lessons with Word:
Insert pattern
Adding a substrate
Changing the background in the document
Creating flowcharts
Insert signs and special characters

After you make the necessary changes, set the default settings in the future template, it must be saved.

1. Press the button "File" (or "MS Office"If using old version Word).

3. In the drop-down menu "File type" Select the appropriate template type:

• Word template (* .dotx): a regular template compatible with all versions of Word older than 2003;

• Word template with macros support (* .dotm): How is it clear from the name, this type templates supports work with macros;

• Word 97 - 2003 (* .dot) template: compatible with old versions Word 1997 - 2003.

4. Set the file name, specify the path to save it and click "Save".

5. The created and configured file will be saved as a template in the format you specified. Now it can be closed.

Creating a template based on an existing document or standard template

1. Open the MS Word empty document, go to the tab "File" and select "Create".

Note: IN recent versions Word when opening an empty document, the user is immediately offered a list of template layouts, on the basis of which you can create a future document. If you want access to all templates, when you open, select "New document"And then follow the steps described in paragraph 1.

2. Select the appropriate template in the section "Available templates".

Note: For different templates of text design, which are available by default and are presented in the tab. "The main" in a group "Styles"may be different and noticeably different from those that you are used to seeing in a standard document.

Tip: Take advantage of the available styles in order to make your future template really unique, not similar to other documents. Of course, do it only if you do not limit the requirements for the design of the document.

4. After you make the necessary changes to the document, perform all the settings that you consider the desired, save the file. To do this, click on the tab "File" and select "Save as".

5. In the section "File type" Select the appropriate template type.

Adding standard blocks to the template

Standard blocks are called multiplely used items contained in the document, as well as those components of the document that are stored in the collection and are available for use at any time. Store standard blocks and distribute them using templates.

Thus, using standard blocks, you can create a report template in which the accompanying letters of two or more types will be contained. At the same time, creating a new report based on this template, other users will be able to choose any of the available types.

1. Create, save and close the template you have created with all the requirements. It is in this file that the standard blocks will be added, which will later be available to other users of the template you created.

2. Open the template document to which the standard blocks must be added.

3. Create the necessary standard blocks that will later be available to other users.

Note: When entering information in the dialog box "Creating a new standard block" Enter in line "Save in" The name of the template to which you need to add (this is the file you created, saved and closed according to the first item of this section of the article).

Now you have created a template containing standard blocks can be provided to other users. The blocks saved with it themselves will be available in the specified collections.

Adding content controls to the template

In some situations, it is required to give a template together with all its contents some flexibility. For example, the template may contain the drop-down list created by the author. For any other reasons, this list may not arrange another user who will drive with it.

If the content management elements will be present in such a template, the second user will be able to correct the list for itself, leaving it unchanged in the template itself. To add content management elements to the template, you must enable the tab. "Developer" In MS Word.

1. Open the menu "File" (or "MS Office" In earlier versions of the program).

4. Disconnect "Designer Mode" Re-pressing on this button on the control panel.

5. Explanatory text will be saved for the current template.

We will finish this, from this article you have learned about what is templates in Microsoft Word, how to create and modify them, as well as all that you can do with them. This is a really useful feature of the program, in many respects simplifying work with it, especially if there is no one on the documents, but at once several users, not to mention large companies.

Routine work with the same type documents can be minimized if you form them based on Word templates. The fact that they represent, and how to create them, our today's material.

Frequently often in the process of its activities, we create the same type of documents: acts, orders, letters, contracts, coursework, etc. All these documents tend to contain some text or graphic elements - headlines, details, logos, text blocks that are repeated from the document into a document.

Normal user text editor Word.By creating another document, it is forced to use and edit someone created and containing all these elements of the document or simply copy to a new document the necessary elements, again, from the old file, moreover, realizing that in this case, editing is inevitable.

The template defines the basic structure of the document and contains the settings of the document, such as the elements of the autotex, fonts, the designated shortcuts, macros, menus, page parameters, formatting and styles. (From Word help)

This routine can be minimized if you create a template based document. Sometimes more templates are called "fish". However, perhaps, the templates really make it possible to increase the efficiency of work.

The template can be created in two ways by taking as the basis of any document with all those present elements, or starting with a clean sheet, independently including the necessary items.

I will tell you how to create a template from a clean sheet, and thus it will be easier to understand the whole process than to modify the existing file. For example, we will create a simple official letter template. There is nothing difficult in this if you follow my step-by-step instructions.

So, proceed.

1. Create an empty document.

2. Immediately save it. Let's go to the "File" menu and select the "Save As ..." command. The "Saving Document" dialog box, in which we need to choose in the "File Type" field (Save As Type) Type "Document Template" (* .dot).

The "Templates" folder will be opened, in which all templates are saved by default. Assign the file name and click the Save button.

3. Determine which elements (text and graphics) and where exactly will be located in the document.

As a rule, all official letters contain elements such as the name of the organization, the logo, details. In the text of the letter, the letter may be a polite appeal to the recipient of the letter and, in fact, the text of the letter itself. At the end of the letter, the name of the organization's head with his signature is given. We take and we basically like a similar letter structure.

4. Organization name We will place at the top of the document in the center. To do this, print the name of our organization with capital letters, for example, White Nights LLC. Press the ENTER key and go to a new string.

5. Below we can insert the separation line. To do this, click on the "Drawing" button. At the bottom of the screen, the drawing panel will appear with control buttons. We are interested in lines, so we select the corresponding "line" button (Line). Mouse cursor turns into a cross.

Please note: perhaps you will be inserted with the so-called web - dotted field insertion of figures / drawings. To prudently get rid of the web insert, go to the "Tools" menu and select "Options". Click the General tab (General) and remove the checkbox from the Automatic Creation Creation option when inserting AutoFigur (Automatically Create Drawing Canvas When Inserting AutoShapes). Click "OK" and close the "Options" window.

6. Sign the cursor in the form of a cross to the name of the organization and slightly below the line from the flashing cursor to the right edge of the field, pressing and holding the left mouse button. Line is drawn.

7. You can leave the line as it is, and you can give it a more elegant look. To do this, there is a corresponding "Line style" button on the drawing panel. Click on it and choose any type.

8. After you stop at any type of line, double-click the following line - in this place will be printed the address and details of the organization. Print the data you consider: legal and actual address, telephone, fax, site url, e-mail, bank details.

9. Now format the dialed text according to your ideas. The name of the organization, for example, I allocated and assigned it the style of "Headline 1" (Heading 1). I also leveled the title in the center and made a racked interval of five points between the letters.

The font size of the text under the line I reduced to nine items and leveled in the center. Sample you can observe below in the screenshot.

Thus, we created a permanent (unchangeable) part of our template, the so-called "cap". Now move on and create a field in which you will later substitute your data.

On the left side of the template under the "cap" twice click the mouse and print the name of the city, for example, Moscow. Then in the opposite (right) part of the template, twice the mouse twice and in the migration site of the cursor insert the date. For this:

1. In the "Insert" menu (INSERT), select the "Date and Time" command (Date and Time). A window will open in which you select the desired date display format, for example, July 18, 2006.

2. Mark the checkbox "Update Automatically" (Update Automatically). Now, when creating a new document based on this template, the date will already be affixed in accordance with the current time on your computer.

3. On the right side of the template below the date - with an indent from the left edge of about 10 cm along the horizontal line - twice click the mouse. The cursor flashes, and in this place we will insert the field to substitute the recipient's data of the letter.

4. In the "Insert" menu (INSERT), select the "Field" command. The window opens as in the screenshot below:

5. In the category of "Categories", select Automation (Document Automation). In the field Names, select Macrobutton. In the "Message" area (Display Text), type the text "Insert the FIO Recipient" and click OK.

Strictly speaking, in the "Macros name" region, it would be necessary to specify Nomacro (that is, the team without a macro), but it did not turn out this on the list. Therefore, we leave as it is, at least I have never met any errors.

6. We get a field with our text.

If you have this field is displayed as ordinary text without shading, I recommend doing this shading. This will allow you to subsequently easily define in the document the necessary fields for data entry. To do this, go to the "Tools" menu and select the "Options" command and on the View tab (View) in the SHOW tab (SHOW) from the Field Shading list (ALWAYS field shading) ).

Below you can additionally insert a similar field of the address of the recipient and its position.

We have left to insert a welcoming appeal to the recipient of this letter, the text of the appeal and the signature of the sender below. Try to insert these fields into your template, relying on those instructions that are above, and do not forget to save the resulting pattern.

For example, you can look at the screenshot of the template, which turned out to be with me:

Now, in order to use this template for creating a letter, you need to go to the "File" menu and select the "Create" command (NEW). The field of tasks will appear on the right, in which you want to select the "General Templates" option (on My Computer). A window opens with all available templates. You choose the template you created and click "OK". A new document based on your template will be loaded in Word. Add your data to the appropriate fields and enjoy automation.
