3. Describe how placeholders & sample text are used in templates
When you create your template, add placeholders to store the information you’ll replace when you’re creating the actual document. One trick for adding dummy text easily is to use the rand() field. Simply click at the start of a new line and type =rand(). Word inserts a sample of text you can use to fill the space.
Create placeholders not only for text blocks but also for tables, pull quotes, captions, headlines, banners, tables of contents, images, and so on. This will save you time when you begin adding live content to the document down the road.
