If you often use the same Word documents in a slightly modified Form, you can save a template a lot of work. You use such a template, Word automatically creates a copy of the file, so that your template is not changed. For example, you can create templates and frequently used business forms.

So you create in Word templates

First, tap the template in a standard, blank Word document.
When you save the document when finished, select "save file as..." and click on "trusted templates".
Enter a file name such as "standard letter-form" and select as file type "Word template".
When you open the template later, it will appear as a working copy and can be saved as a new document.
