PREREQUISITE CONCEPTS AND SKILLS
The term template, when used in the context of word processing software, refers to
a sample document that has already some details in place; those can be adapted (that is
added/completed, removed or changed, differently from a fill-in-the-blank approach as in a
form) either by hand or through an automated iterative process, such as with a software
assistant. Once the template is completed, the user can edit, save and manage the result
as an ordinary word processing document. Word processing templates enable the ability
to bypass the initial setup and configuration time necessary to create standardized
documents such as a resume. They also enable the automatic configuration of the user
interface of the word processing software, with features such as autocompletion, toolbars,
thesaurus, and spelling options.
A template is a document type that creates a copy of itself when you open it. In
Microsoft Office Word 2007, you can create a template saving a document as a .dotx
file, .dot file, or a .dotm file (a .dotm file type allows you to enable macros in the file)
