word templates

Every Microsoft Word document is based on a Word template. If you do not specifically assign a template to your document, then Word assigns the 'Normal' template.

Making templates to suit particular types of documents affords economy in effort and consistency in layout and format

For clients, we have supplied templates for a wide variety of documents, including contracts, reports, invoices, letters, standard forms, mail merges and estimates

See office integration for an example of a Word letter template drawing name and address information from a database

You can distributed templates amongst users, thus contributing to a common approach to spreadsheet layout, formatting and usage. Also non-expert Excel users will benefit from the skills of the template author.
