SUMMARY
When several users contribute to a common task, you may want all of them to use a common style. Microsoft Works Word Processor is capable of creating a template, and then each user can use the template to ensure that a common style of font, type size, type color, page border, and so on is used for the common task. The template may be saved to a removable medium such as a floppy disk and distributed to each of the users.



MORE INFORMATION
To create a template and save it to a floppy disk, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Works Word Processor.
 * 2) Create a sample document that contains all the formatting and style content that you want.
 * 3) Insert a floppy disk or another removable medium into the appropriate drive.

NOTE: You can use this same procedure on a network drive if all of the users have access to it.
 * 1) On the File menu, click Save As.
 * 2) In the File name box, type a name for your template.
 * 3) In the Save as type box, click Works Template(*.wpt).
