2.2 Starting a New Document from a Template

As indicated above, we will try using a Template. I have chosen a letter Template that makes it easy to set up a nice letter.

1. Click on the Office Button in the upper left corner of the screen.

2. Click on New.

3. In the left side, select Installed Templates.

4. Select the Template Urban Letter.

5. Double-click on the template or Click on the Create button.

This opens a new mail document. Everything is set up, you just have to type your text into the different text fields.

Using Templates is an excellent way to create documents. If you are working with Word in a company, the company might have created its own templates for letters, faxes, reports and notes, which are adapted to their letterhead, colour, etc. You could ask the IT department in your company if this is the case.
