I am working on a project that involves creating a number of templates
for our contracts department. I have found lots of guides that show you
how to create basic templates, but I need something much more robust.

Can anyone recommend a good book or site to help with the ins and outs
of creating a suite of Word templates that play well together?

Thanks,
Erin

Hi Erin,

Have you been to
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...platePart2.htm yet?

Also, mainly Mac-oriented but valid for Windows too, there's a ton of useful
stuff in http://word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/Bend/BendWord.htm

Look at the article Jay referred you to; it is the best source I know about.
For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog,
and locations of templates folders see
