How to use a template in Word:

Word offers 1000s of different templates. So, whether you are looking for resumes, cover letters, flyers, or even Christmas cards, you will definitely find it on Word. It is super easy to use a template. 

Step 1: When you have Word opened, select File, then select New.




Step 2: Under Office, you are going to type whatever type of template you're looking for. (For this example, I am going to use Christmas cards).




Step 3: Select whatever design you like and select Create. 




It will automatically add the template to your document. 



When you have your template on your document, you can delete any parts you don't want by selecting them and pressing delete. You can add your own words to the text boxes. If you do not like the pictures that are on the template, you can delete them and simply add your own pictures. You can use Clipart or add photos from your computer. 

Since templates are already set up, it saves so much time when you do not have to make documents from scratch. You don't have to take the time to find images or figure out where you want to place your text boxes.
