Today, I’m bringing you a tip for a quick trick in Microsoft Word that can save you bundles of time.
Have you ever spent a good amount of time formatting a Word document until it looks just right?
Maybe you’re creating a letterhead for memos. Maybe you’re creating a newsletter and blocking out different word boxes and tables.
Or maybe you’re just very particular about your to-do lists.
Whatever you are creating, you spend a ton of time getting it to look the way you envisioned. You fill it all out and save it.
Then, maybe the next week, or the next month… you realize that you want to use the same type of formatting again.
You could get frustrated that you have to spend all that time again to create it from scratch.
Yes, you heard me right. A template. You can create your own template and not just rely on the templates that Microsoft provides.
And it’s so simple to do!
Once you have things formatted the way you want, you go to File and select Save As.
Click on either Browse or This PC.
It will open up a dialogue box. You will type in a name for your template, and then click on the drop-down for “Save As Type”.
Then you will select Word Template.
Click Save, and you will see your personalized template in your template list when you start a new document!
