Using Templates in Word

Using templates in Word can be very useful. If, for example, you need to send a reminder to multiple staff members at work every three months to reset their password, using a template would be a great option. The main body of the text would be the same every time, and you would only need to change staff names and perhaps dates. Using a template with the unchanging information will save time and prevent you from typing the message in its entirety every time you need to send out the memo.

For the above example, you can use a memo template. You can see this example displayed below, and you can see the highlighted areas are the only ones you would need to change for each memo.

While this is just one example of a template, there are many to choose from in Word. Simply click on the File tab, and the templates will display at the top of the screen.
