2. Project Document Templates
You can choose any of the project's Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents to make available for use as a document template for the Collaboration project. When a user chooses a template, Collaboration creates an exact copy of the document. You can identify that a file is a template when the document icon appears with a small box on it.

Upload the file to be used as the template to the Collaboration Projects Documents area; for this example we will use the document titled “OA Branding Word Template”.
