Tips & Warnings
In addition to using Microsoft Office online to download templates, you can also use Word to make your own templates by choosing the "New" button under the "File" drop-down menu, then selecting the "My Templates" option. This will allow you to create a personal collection of your templates. One of the advantages of doing this is to make documents that are consistent in design.
Also, you have the option of using Word templates directly from Word without visiting the Microsoft Office online homepage, by clicking on the "Office" button, selecting "New" to view the "New Documents" dialog box, then choosing a template from one of the categories under the "Microsoft Office Online" section located on the left panel.
