You'll find a lot to chew on he Creating a Template -- The Basics (Part I) http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...platePart1.htm Creating a Template (Part II) http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...platePart2.htm The largest part is designing the definitions of the styles so they reflect your style guide. Another big consideration is making the template easy enough to use that people won't be tempted (much g) to go off in their own directions. This often involves things like creating custom toolbars with buttons for applying the styles, or preparing forms with automation to speed up document creation and collection. Don't be tempted to use a single template as the base for all kinds of documents. To a certain degree, specialization of templates for the most commonly document types will help -- just don't go overboard. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
