Word 2007 TEMPLATES
Using templates allows you to create new documents with a pre-designed format; page layout, fonts, margins, etc.
As you browse through the options available consider ways you could use these with your students.
The easy steps to follow when using templates are:
1. Click the Microsoft Office button. Select new.
2. Click Installed Templates to scroll though options already on your computer. Left click on the one you would like to use then click create.
3. There are many more templates available if you have internet access by clicking on Microsoft Office Online. Templates are organized by category. Once you find one you like, left click it then click download.
4. The template you choose will open in the word window. Templates are prefilled with placeholder text surrounded by brackets. This text will indicate what information should be added.
5. Click on the placeholder text and type what you want to appear. There is no need to delete first.
6. There may be extra options available within the template. Look for dropdown arrows to see menus of additional options.

Consider these rules for writing e-mails:
|
1. Always have a Subject. This will make it easier to find the email later, if needed.
2. One e-mail for one subject. 3. Avoid paragraph format. Be brief. Use bullets or a list format. 4. Be transparent. CC when you should. Avoid using BCC. |
