Templates Template: a saved set of styles, which can

include graphics; a guide for creating a new document

The word template  is used in two ways. Technical - a document with a special format that

can be used to create a new document, without risk of changing the one used as the template.   

General - any document that is used as a guide when creating a new document. 

Templates A Word template can contain standard text and

images that are intended to be part of every document made with the template. A template might just be a set of paragraph and character styles.

For example, a letterhead could be saved as a template file, including your favorite paragraph styles and your company logo. Create a new document using this template and your letterhead material is already there! Just add the actual text of the letter.

You used a template when you used AutoFormat to format an existing document, but only to apply the paragraph styles in the template.
