CREATE AND USE TEMPLATES

                 A template is a predefined layout or a blueprint of a document with saved formatting features like font styles, logos,
                 borders, colour pattern, text design, etc. Later a document is created using these pre-defined templates. The advantage
                 of using these templates is that you do not have to waste time in designing a format of the document needed. Formats
                 like training document, meeting agenda document, resume making layout, etc. are already available. You just select
                 them at the time of making a new document and fill the content in the blueprint available.

                 A template can have:
                 •  Printer settings like the type of a printer, paper type, and printing single side or double side.
                 •  Document styles like character, page, frame, lists, etc.
                 •  Headers and footers containing name, logos, signature, greetings, etc.

                 If you wish to create a new document with a blank layout, then you start a new document with the default blank
                 template.
                 Checking the Template of the Document
