Using templates

If you create similar documents time after time, you can save a lot of work by defining a template. A template can be used as the basic design or prototype for any new documents you open. Typically a template can include settings for margins, font styles, pieces of text, and most other document features. The template can then act as a new default design for the documents you wish to base on it. The Normal template is the standard default template.

The following sections show you how to create, edit and manage templates.
