Creating a Template for Mac Word

Creating a template in Mac Word is as simple as saving a regular Word document. The only difference is the options you specify when you click Save.

Once you have planned and created your template, click Save As on the File menu.

Give your document a descriptive name in the Save As box.

In the Format box, select Document Template.

If you plan to share the document with Windows users, you should check for compatibility issues. Click Compatibility Report and correct any errors.

Finally, Click Save.

Mac Word will save the template in the My Templates folder. This means your template is immediately accessible from the Mac Word Project Gallery.

Just click My Templates in the left pane. Select the template and then click Open.

You can save your template elsewhere, but it won’t be accessible from the My Templates section of the Mac Word Project Gallery.
