As you know, word provides a wide range of templates. Before you start to edit Word documents, especially professional documents, you can see if there are any ready-made templates available. If there is one, you can take full advantage of the spirit of "tailism" and use ready-made templates to make it. As a result, not only the quality of the work will be very good, but also the efficiency will be much higher.
Let's take a look at the word template.
Part 1 Basic Application of the Word template
Classification and storage location of Word Templates
There are two types of templates in word: System wizard or template, and user-defined template.
The system wizard or template of word is installed in the X: \ Program Files \ Microsoft Office \ Templates \ 2052 folder. Its extension is wiz (wizard) and dot (Template ).
The location where a custom template is stored varies with the Windows version. For Windows 2000/NT/XP users, the custom template is placed in C: \ Documents and Settings \ User Name \ Application Data \ Microsoft \ Templates folder; If Windows 9x/me is used, the template will be placed in C: \ windows \ applicationdata \ Microsoft \ Templates folder. (X is the target drive letter for installing office software)
Use a ready-made Word template
Office XP has prepared many exquisite templates. You only need to select "file"> "new", and the "new file" window task lattice will appear on the right side of the word window, click "general template" under "create by template" to bring up the "template" selection window.
All templates have been placed in different categories, including common, web pages, reports, memos, publications, other files, letters and faxes, and English wizard templates, you can click the corresponding tag to open the template. The file name and description of the template are displayed, and you can preview the template.
Select the template you want and click OK to open the new file that has been applied to the template. Some templates may open the wizard window to select and set some parameters. 1:
Install an external Word template
Templates are stored as files. Therefore, if you find some Word Templates online or on a CD, you just need to copy them to the C: \ Documents documents andsettings \ User Name \ Application Data \ Microsoft \ Templates folder (Windows2000/XP user) or C: \ WINDOWS \ applicationdata \ Microsoft \ Templates folder (Windows 9x/me user ).
Delete unnecessary Word Templates
If you do not need many templates or feel that too many templates have been installed, open "Resource Manager", enter the User-Defined Template folder, and then delete the corresponding template file.
Encrypt a Word template
What should I do if I don't want others to use the general template (normal. Dot) provided by word or a template carefully created by myself? In this case, you can encrypt the template:
Open the general template file narmal. DOT (other template files share the same practice ), on the tools, options, and Security tab, set a password for the file encryption option in the file encryption option area of this document, click "save" on the toolbar. When you start word, you will be prompted to enter the password. If you have a password, you can use this template without a password. 10:
Use multiple Word Templates
By default, word can only support unique default templates, which often cannot meet our needs. In fact, you can make word use multiple templates:
Right-click a folder, select "new"> "microsoftword document" to generate several Word files, open them with word, and process these files as required, finally, select them, right-click them, select "properties", and select the check box before "read-only" in the "properties" window, set multiple "template" files to read-only files.

In this case, word will open a "read-only" File Based on the selected "template" file, press Ctrl + S, and the "save another" dialog box will pop up for us to save another file, and the content in the original "template" file will not be overwritten. In theory, countless "templates" can be implemented using this method ".

For LAN users, custom templates can be shared by other users on the network. Specifically, put the Custom template into a shared folder and create a shortcut for the shared folder. Other users on the network can put this shortcut in their own c: \ Program Files \ microsoftoffice \ Templates \ 2052 folder, and then they can call it like a locally installed template.
