Thread: Make your own templates

The templates included with Office or downloaded from Microsoft's website (see Tip 6) are a quick way of getting new documents started, but if you've spent hours creating a document from scratch, why not save it as a template of your own in case you ever need to produce something similar in future? All you need to do is change the document type in the Save dialogue box from Word document to Word template. Making a template is better than reloading and reusing a document, because there's no danger of overwriting the original.
