HOW TO USE THESE TEMPLATES:

1. Open Microsoft Word and choose "New" from the "File" drop-down menu as shown:

2. Choose the template you wish to use from the box that appears and click the "OK" button:

3. Edit the template as desired. When you are finished you will save the file as a document (do not overwrite your template file) Document files have a .doc extension and template files have a .dot extension.

Choose "Save As" from the "File" drop down Menu

4. Name your file in the "File Name" box. Make sure that you have chosen "Word Document" in the "Save as Type" box (see illustration below) and click the "Save" button. If you wish to make changes to the template or create a new template with a different name you would follow the same procedure but choose "Document Template" in the "Save as Type" box rather than "Word Document".
