I. Application tasks
Usually, the motivation of learning comes from the actual problems and the stimulation of the task. Before we start the specific content, we also ask two practical questions and tasks, and after the completion of the study, check whether you have the ability to solve the problem and complete the task.
(i) How can I use existing templates to improve productivity?
We know that Word provides a wide variety of templates, and when we make professional documents, see if there are any ready-made templates available, if the answer is yes, then play the "copycat" spirit, using ready-made templates, whether efficient or quality are very considerable.
(b) How to align and standardize the enterprise's documentation?
This task has been mentioned in the Style section of the course, where we want to learn the various skills of the template, combined with the use of style, you can get a complete solution, the task is more specific is how to create a template suitable for their business needs.
II. training of basic application capacity
(i) Understanding the concept of templates
In order for us to better use the template, first of all to discuss the concept of the template. The "template" mentioned earlier is actually the abbreviation for "template file", which means that "template" is a special kind of file that is used when other files are created. Perhaps a beginner word friend would ask, do I click "New blank Document" In Word, create a blank document, and use a template? Yes, that's when Word uses the Normal template to create a new document.
Of course, it's easy to understand when you create a document by clicking on "Templates on my Computer" or "Templates on the Web", and in the dialog box that pops up, when you choose another special template to create your documents.
In fact, each template provides a collection of styles that we can use to format the document. In addition to styles, templates contain other elements, such as macros, AutoText, custom toolbars, and so on. So we can visualize the template as a container that contains the various elements mentioned above. The templates for different functions are certainly not the same, and the elements in a template can be reused when we are working on the same type of document, which can be a preliminary experience of the importance of the template in avoiding duplication of work.
(ii) Understanding the relationship between templates and styles
As you know from the above, styles are one of the important elements that are included in the template, and I've always thought of it as the most important element. After learning one lesson, we have begun to feel the extraordinary ability of styles to quickly modify documents. So, do you have the idea of saving the styles you create in a document for later processing the same type of document?
The idea is very good, the template is the effective way to achieve this goal. Later we will learn through the actual case to understand the whole process of implementation.
(iii) Create a document using an existing template
One prerequisite to using an existing template to create a document is that you understand the features and functionality of existing templates, or else, if you choose an inappropriate template, it may be very awkward to make a finished document look.
Most of the work using an existing template is in the fill in the blanks, including the wizard-style template, which is based on the prompts to fill in the actual content you need.
In real life, most of your friends need to make a resume that is easy to use when looking for a job, so here's an example of using the Resume Wizard template provided by Word to make a personal resume with a professional look.

Click Templates on this computer in the template area of the task pane, open the Templates dialog box, select the Other Documents tab, and select the Resume Wizard template (Figure 1).
