Tempate Building How-To's?
I've been tasked with converting our company's current set of collateral
(mostly in Adobe InDesign) into user-friendly Word Templates (v 2007). I'm fairly comfortable in Word, but not really skilled at creating a master template file that will be widespread used. For example, I don't need help on *how* to create a table... I need to know what is the benefit of a table vs. a 3 column page... or is there a different way to do this. I run into multiple ways to do something, and wonder what way is best, from the standpoint of multiple people using this template. Do you know of any books, sites, podcasts, etc. that are available which might be helpful to me? If this is more of a page layout question, I can repost there too... Thanks in advance TJ |

The site http://www.word.mvps.org contains a lot of information of
this sort. The articles http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...platePart1.htm and http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm are a starting place. There's plenty more -- for the example you cited, read http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UsingColumns.htm. And of course, you can always ask more specific questions here. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Tempate Building How-To's?
I have been trying to created a Sermon outline template using Microsoft
Office for Mac 2008. Here is basically what I am trying to do. Document sizes Left 2.39, Right 2.14, Top .25, Bottom 3.38 and a Footer of 3.6. The outline looks something like this. Title (centered) Scripture (centered, Italic) Introduction (left and Italic) 1. (text indented .25 ) A. (would be indented .25 and then text indented .25) Discussion: (Italic, left) I. (Left, Bold then text indented .25) A. (would be indented .25 and then text indented .25) 1. Would be indented .5 and then text indented .25) a. Would be indented .75 and then text indented .25) Conclusion: (Italic, left) 1. (Left) like the Introduction. Does anyone have a template similiar to this I would want to be able to use Tab to go from Main Point to subpoint to detail (I think what is called increase indent) and then Shift tab to decrease indent say if at detail I.A. 2 to go back for Main point II. Any help ideas appreciated. Any templates to share always appreciated. Dr. Mike Hughes, D.Min., Th.D., Ph.D. |
