Microsoft Office Interview Question:

A template determines the overall structure of a document and can include text, graphics, styles, macros, etc. When you start a new document by clicking on the New button on the Standard toolbar, it is based on the Normal template (see What is the Normal Template?). To use the other templates included with Word:

1. Choose New from the File menu.
2. In Word 2000, click on the tab in the New dialog box to select a category. In Word XP/2003, the templates appear in the task pane on the right side of the screen.

Note: Blank Document creates a document based on the Normal template.

3. Click once on a template or wizard icon to see a preview in the New dialog box.
4. Click OK to create a document based on the template you selected.
