A template is a document with a preset layout or preset styles for formatting. They serve as a _basic_ _structure_ for a document and can be used to eliminate the need for repetitive recreation of the same format across documents. Templates feature prearranged formatting options such as _font face, font size, language, spacing, alignment,_ and more.

*Built-in* templates provide preset structures for common documents such as:

* Memos
* Reports
* Resumes

* Documents without custom formatting
*Custom* templates, on the other hand, are formatting options and layouts that are set up by the user and saved as a .dotx file. You can modify an existing template or you may set one up starting from a blank document.
