Applying Templates

You can apply a template to any already existing Word document. When you apply a template to a document, several things happen. First, Word replaces any existing styles with like-named template styles. Second, Word adds the new template styles to the document.

To apply templates:

Load the file you want to apply the template to.
Select Tools > Templates and Add-Ins... from the menu bar.
Select the Automatically update document styles check box.
Click Attach...
The Attach Template dialogue window appears. Use this window to locate and select a template.
Select the template you want to use.

Tip

Word template files have the DOT extension.
Click Open.
Click OK in the Attach Templates dialogue box.
Word attaches the template to your document. You can create, modify or delete any styles you want.
