Template Handbook
What is a template?
A template is a standard document in which specific layout features have been recorded, such as the font type and size, the paper format, the document margins. When you use a template to create a new letter, for example, the features defined in the template are automatically transferred to the new document. Templates can therefore save you a lot of time when you want to print a letter with the correct layout on the official letterhead.
Where can I find the templates?
Before you can work with a template, the template must first be installed in Word. Depending on how Word was installed, the templates will be located on your PC’s hard disk or on a network disk. You can check this in the Tools menu under Options, File Locations (Extra, Opties, Bestandslocaties). The folder or directory in which templates should be located (see Figure 1) is displayed after User Templates (Gebruikerssjablonen). Always save new templates, such as those developed for the letter layout, to this folder or directory.
How do I use a template?
In the File menu, click New to create a new file (Bestand, Nieuw). A window is then displayed on the right in which you can search for available templates (see Figure 2).
Click On my computer... (Op mijn computer...) to select the correct template. Then select the correct template and click OK.
The new document now displayed already has the correct page layout and the correct font types and sizes. In the document (letter or fax), you see a large number of marked fields (see Figure 3). These are the permanent components of a letter or fax. To edit the template, click with the left mouse button in the marked fields. If there are fields that you do not need, select them with the mouse and delete them.
When your letter or fax is ready, save the file under File, Save as (Bestand, Opslaan als).
