By using Word’s template feature, you can spend your time only on the content and not worry about the formatting on the document. Here’s how you create a template in word.
Firstly, you need to have a basic idea what you want in a template. You can of course always edit your template whenever you want but it is always better to include certain things to save time. A good idea is to include all the headers that will be included in all documents, footnotes, columns, etc. Choose the styles, font types and colors for each header.
The next step is to save the document as a template. Go to the File menu and click on Save. Give a name to the document and in the Save as type box, select Document Templates. Document templates have the file extension .dot. Click Save. The document that you created is now saved as a template.
Sometimes while writing your document, you need a synonym for a word, and might have no time to log on to the Internet. Word has its own built-in thesaurus. To access it, select the word for which you need a synonym and press Shift-F7.
Changing the case of letters
One of the annoying things about typing is that you might press the Caps Lock key by mistake, and not even realize it. The result is that words that need to be in lower case end up capitalized or vice versa. To fix this, select the text and press Shift + F3 to change the case of the words. This is a toggle key that will allow you to choose between block capitals, title case and sentence case.
Return Font to Default format
