The Normal Template and Custom Personal Templates Word doesn’t know which section to apply the page setup information.įor this reason, we recommend you plan ahead when working on a document in a collaborative setting and create a template for the document that you can apply to the new document before starting work on it. This is because page setup information is different for each section of your document, if you split your document into sections.
NOTE: When you attach a template to an existing document, the page setup information, such as page orientation and margins, are not applied to the document. You can also attach a template to an existing document, if you’ve created the template after starting work on the document. It may even include standard, boilerplate text, styles, headers, footers, special toolbars and any other common information needed for similar documents based on the template. The new document based on the template contains all the styles and formatting you need. Anytime you create a new document in Word, a template is attached automatically, even when you create a new “Blank document.” A template is essentially Word’s guide for how your document and working environment should appear.Įvery document in Word is based on a template. You can easily accomplish this using templates.įor example, you can define all styles and formatting in a template, attach the template to the document, and distribute the template to everyone working on the document. When collaborating in a team setting, having everyone use consistent formatting is a must. This is going to be useful whether you’re simply a college student handing off your paper to someone else to proofread, or editing a large publication, which will pass through several revisions and reviewers.
The aim of this series is to introduce and familiarize you with the collaboration features in Microsoft Word 2013, though much of what we discuss should be available in prior versions, as well.
