Using Templates
A template is a blueprint for a document. A template contains the styles to be used in the document and text, graphics, and any other content you desire. For instance, a memo template can contain the spacing desired, the styles, and the memo headers so that the user only needs to fill in the specific information for the headers, such as the date and subject. In fact, a field can be included that automatically fills in the current date for the user. A monthly report template might include a table with titles so that only the table cells need to be filled in.
To create a document from a template, click File and select New->Templates and Documents. The window in Figure 11-3 opens.
