Templates A Word template can contain standard text and images that are intended to be part of every document made with the template. A template might just be a set of paragraph and character styles. For example, a letterhead could be saved as a template file, including your favorite paragraph styles and your company logo. Create a new document using this template and your letterhead material is already there! Just add the actual text of the letter.
