hi welcome students today we’re going to be working in word 2016 and what we’re going to be doing is creating custom word templates let’s go ahead and get started so sometimes when you work in Microsoft Word you want to create a template right here I’ve created a template for a letter that I would be riding out so since I want this to be my template meaning that every single time I want to write a letter I wanted to display this right here the first thing I have to do is actually create this portion of the template now if you’re trying to create a template you should have a good idea of what should be here this should all be custom to whatever it is you’re trying to do so when we’re in word we can actually create templates in a very very easy way and it all has to do with how we save the document so if I go right here and I go to file

up on the file Tab and I click right there and then I go to save as this is where we choose the location where we save our file but not only that it’s where we choose how we save our file 7:00 right here on browse okay now again you have to go to save as and then browse and you’ll see right here it should take you to a destination now I see my pathway is on my desktop right now and I’ve created a folder called custom office template if I double click inside this folder that’s where I want to save my tablet too but don’t just go down here and click save okay first you have to take a look at your file name so I might call this one word 2016 or maybe I’ll just call it letter template but then it says right here save as type right now seeing as a Word document well if we want this to be able to pop up in template searches what we can do is we can go right here to save as type click right there and it’ll give you a list of different options

the one you should choose is this one right here word template so if I click that right there it tells Microsoft Word this is a template doc document meaning the next time that you open it up it’ll be available in the templates menu so right here I have that and now I can click save okay so that saves the document as a template noticed that the end of the document is d o t x h let you know it is a template document in Word it’s not your regular. DLC the right there we have our template saved now I’m going to go ahead and close this so I’ll go to file close all right so now that’s all closed I’m going to go to file new and that should be the basic view of when you open up Microsoft Word and we see here that are two options it says featured templates and personal templates after you save a document as a template you should be able to click right here on personal and your template should pop up this is the template that I just Gray

right here so I click that and now I am ready to go noticed that once I open this up it doesn’t say that it’s the template anymore it says document one it’s just as if I opened up a template from the featured templates area now I can start to type out my letter every single time and I have this starting point to begin with so you can do this with letters memos and various other office documents all right so I hope that is a good lesson on how to use templates in word 2016 I hope that this video has encouraged you to subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already I do have lots of tutorials of Microsoft Word Excel access PowerPoint as well as a few other videos on my channel so I encourage you to check it out thank you so much for watching
