In addition to using Word’s pre-defined templates, you can create your own custom templates, based on your own design and your own formatting. For instance, you may want your company’s name and address, along with your company logo on every document that you create. Rather than manually adding this information each time you create a document, you can create a template that contains the information you want that you can use over and over.
Microsoft Word saves a template file with a .dotx extension (rather than the .docx extension of a standard Word document). Microsoft Word will automatically save your template in the Templates folder, so Word can easily find your template when needed.
To Create a Custom Template
1. Create a new document with your desired text, formatting, and layout.
2. Click the Microsoft Office button, point to Save As and then click Word Template.
3. Type the name for your template in the File Name text box.
4. Click the Save button.
