Incorporate a Template in Word

Question

How do I incorporate a template in Word?

Answer

You can access and reuse building blocks at any time. You can also distribute building blocks with templates. For example, you can create AutoText building blocks in a template and distribute the template to other users. 

1. Click the File tab
2. Click on Save As
   1. Choose where you would like to save the template
   2. Enter a filename
   3. Under filename, use the drop down to save the document as a Word Template
   4. Click Save

In the open template, create the building blocks that you want to provide for other users. When creating a new building block, and filling out information:

1. In the Create New Building Block dialog box, be sure to click the template name in the Save in list
2. Also make sure you use the same category name for all of the choices that you want users to have for a particular building block
3. Once you have done this, saved your document, and exited out of it, you are ready to distribute the template.
4. You can do this in many ways, including emailing the word template as an attachment
5. Instruct the template recipients to save the template to the Application Data folder, so that the building blocks that you saved with the template will be available in the galleries that you specified in the Building Blocks Organizer
