[Aseem Sheik]

Hey Friends,

I have installed Office 2007 on my system and am about to used it for the first time. I would like to open my Word page automatically (each time) with my preferences. I would also like to know that how do i create and save a new default Word template. Does any one have any idea about it? Can some one guide the process of doing it? Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Just follow the below steps mention.

1) To base a new template on an existing template.

• On the File menu, click New.
  
• In the New Document task pane (task pane: A window within an Office program that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you to use these commands while still working on your files.), under Templates, click On my computer.
  
• Click a template that is similar to the one you want to create, click Template under Create New, and then click OK.

2) On the File menu, click Save As.

3) In the Save as type box, click Document Template. This file type will already be selected if you are saving a file that you created as a template (template: A file or files that contain the structure and tools for shaping such elements as the style and page layout of finished files. For example, Word templates can shape a single document, and FrontPage templates can shape an entire Web site.).

4) The default folder is the Templates folder in the Save in box. To save the template so that it will appear on a tab other than General, switch to the corresponding subfolder or create a new subfolder within the Templates folder.

5) In the File name box, type a name for the new template, and then click Save.

6) In the new template, add the text and graphics you want to appear in all new documents that you base on the template, and delete any items you don't want to appear.

7) Make the changes you want to the margin settings, page size and orientation, styles, and other formats.

8) On the Standard toolbar (A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.), click Save Button image, and then click Close on the File menu.

To create a Word template, you need to save a document to one of the template file formats. Here's how:

1. Open the document that you want to save as a template, or open a new document.

2. Click the Microsoft Office button, and then click Save As.

3. Browse to the location where you want to save the template and then type a file name.

4. Click the Save as type box and then select Word Template (or select Word Macro-Enabled Template if you have or plan to add macros to your template).

5. Click Save.
