Creating a template
You can create your own templates in two ways: from a document, and
using a wizard.
Creating a template from a document
To create a template from a document:
1) Open a new or existing document you want to make into a
template.
2) Add the content and styles that you want.
3) From the main menu, choose File > Templates > Save. The
Templates dialog box opens (see Figure 284).
4) In the New template field, type a name for the new template.
5) In the Categories list, select the category to which you want to
assign the template. (The category is simply the template folder in
which you want to save the template. For example, to save the
template in the “My Templates” folder, click the My Templates
category.)
