SUMMARY
This article describes how to create a template file in Microsoft Works for Windows version 2.0.

A template is a document that has pre-defined settings, such as margin settings or default text. For example, if you want to write letters using a certain letterhead, you can design that letterhead and save it as a template. Then, whenever you open that template, the letterhead is ready, and you only need to add the body text of the letter.



MORE INFORMATION
To create a Works for Windows template file, do the following:


 * 1) From the File menu, choose Create New File (ALT, F, N).
 * 2) Select the type of file you want to create (Word Processor, Spreadsheet, or Database).
 * 3) Set up the template file with the preferred default settings by typing text or choosing commands as necessary.
 * 4) From the File menu, choose Save As (ALT, F, A).
 * 5) In the Save File as Type box, choose WP, SS or DB Template.
 * 6) Choose the OK button, or press ENTER.

The template file will be loaded each time a file of the same type (for example, Word Processor, Spreadsheet) is created using the Create a New File command.
