Copying Between Templates

To save time, Word allows you to copy features from one template to another. Once you create a style, macro, or Toolbar button you never have to create it again. You can simply copy it to another template to use it with a whole new set of documents. You can also replace all the styles in a document with those from a different template by attaching the new template to that document.

Copy Functionality Between Templates

With one template open , click the Tools menu _' and then click Templates And Add-Ins.

Did You Know?

Templates can be password protected from unwanted changes . If the Copy button is unavailable in the Organizer dialog box, check to see if the template has been password protected against tracked changes, comments, or forms. If so, these settings must be changed before the elements can be copied to the template.
