How to Make a Template Using Microsoft Word

Are you looking for ways to streamline your document creation process? One effective way is by using templates in Microsoft Word. In this article, we will guide you through the steps of making a template using Microsoft Word.

Before we begin, ensure that you are connected to the network drive. You can find the templates either in the organizational units folder or in the Ephorte system. The templates are available for everyone using Microsoft Office, both on Windows and Mac OS X.

Step 1: Navigate to Your Organizational Units Folder

To access the templates, navigate to your organizational units folder. This is where you will find the pre-designed templates provided by NTNU.

Step 2: Select the Right Template

Once in the organizational units folder, select 'Work' instead of 'Featured' to show the NTNU templates. You should have a choice for templates other than 'Featured'. If necessary, allow macros and content editing.

Step 3: Choose Your Template

You will normally find four different templates to choose from: mal-brev (template-letter), mal-mote (template-meeting), mal-notat (template-note), and mal-referat (template-minutes). Select the template that best suits your needs.

Step 4: Access Additional Templates (Optional)

If you need more templates, navigate to the folder of your department. Some users may need to open the 'Office' folder to access additional templates.

Step 5: Open a New Document Using Your Template

To open a new document using your chosen template, press 'File' followed by 'New' in the upper left corner of the screen. This will allow you to create a new document based on your selected template.

By following these simple steps, you can easily make a template using Microsoft Word and start creating professional-looking documents quickly. Whether you're writing letters, notes, or minutes, NTNU's templates are available to help you get started.
