Quickly create new documents from custom file templates.
Templates for commonly-used document types
If you often create documents based on the same content, you might
benefit from using file templates. A file template can be a document
of any type with the formatting or content you would like to reuse.
For example, you could create a template document with your letterhead.
Make a new template
-
Create a document that you are going to use as a template. For
example, you could make your letterhead in a word processing
application.
-
Save the file with the template content in the Templates
folder in your Home folder. If the Templates
folder does not exist, you will need to create it first.
Use a template to create a document
-
Open the folder where you want to place the new document.
-
Right-click anywhere in the empty space in the folder, then choose
New Document. The names of available
templates will be listed in the submenu.
-
Choose your desired template from the list.
-
Double-click the file to open it and start editing. You may wish to
rename the file when you are
finished.
