Once you have outlined your document and are ready to create your Word template, follow these simple steps:

1. Click the File menu and select Save



2. In the File Name box, give your template a name that will be easily recognizable.

3. In the Save as type box, select Document Templates (*.dot)



4. Word will automatically open the default save location for Templates (generally …\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates). If you would prefer to save the template in another location, you can do so by navigating through the folders on your hard drive, but keep in mind that templates saved in locations other than the default location will not appear in the Templates dialog box

5. Click Save
