Templates

With Microsoft Works being a program with nearly 200 pre-designed forms, it has become a very good program to have installed on your computer. We are also able to change any thing we design into a template, making it a list of forms that can be endless.

Templates allow us to create among other things:

Letters
Resumes
Household Budgets
Calendars
Stationary with matching envelopes

To access a template

  1. Click on the yellow piece of paper on the tool bar in the Microsoft Works program.

  2. Click once on the tab that says Task Wizard.

  3. Scroll through the list of templates till you find the one you want . (Templates listed in bold black means there is more templates under that heading, just click once on it to access them).

  4. Click on the template, then click OK.

  5. Click YES to run the task wizard. That opens the template so you can begin editing it the way you want to.

Editing a Template

Once you have opened your template, follow the steps necessary to edit it to fit your needs.

  1. Highlight text, simply click in front of the word, hold down the mouse button and drag it across the text, release the mouse button.

  2. Begin typing in new text over the highlighted text.

  3. Continue doing this until all the text you want to change has been edited.
