What sort of templates will you be building, now that you know how? Now, the next time I create a new federal court pleading, all I have to do is create a new document (File tab, New), choosing the template I’ve just created so that I start with a basic layout already in place. Versions 2010 and up: Go to the File tab and choose Save As, then proceed as with version 2007.Choose a location for your template, then choose Word Template in the Save As Type box. Version 2007: Click the Microsoft Office Button (the round button in the upper left-hand corner) and choose Save As.To save a document as a template, here’s how you do it in the various versions of Word: The trick to making a Word document into a template is how you save it. I’d put in whatever form elements I want to use as “boilerplate.” I could, for example, put in bare bones of a federal court pleading header, my special table-based “footer trick,” and a form Certificate of Service.Just remember to strip out anything client-specific.) (You can also take a previously-saved document if you’re looking to make a template for, say, a certain type of discovery requests, etc. And I’ll even let you watch over my shoulder while I do it. What’s that? You don’t know how to create a template? You’re in luck. A template will have all the basic elements of your document in it (a signature block, a custom header/footer, whatever you need), saving you repetitive effort every time you create a new document. Ever get tired of creating the same document type, over and over, from scratch? Then don’t.
