Hi Barb:
Really, they are "AutoText on Steroids". They are not templates, as such
(not in the Word sense of the word, anyway...). They are actually pre-built
document components.
In some cases they are autotext: stored objects with formatting applied. In
others, they are cascading style-sheets, formatting that can be added to the
document's internal stylesheet.
* If you have a copy of Word 2007, then yes, you can make your own Document
Parts.
* If you have a good XML Editor, you could edit the Document Parts.dotx and
have your wicked way with it.
Otherwise: Sorry, Mac Office is a cut-down of Office 2007, and that's one
of the functions we don't get.
Cheers
In Word for Mac 2008 one of the new features is a tool bar that contains
Document Elements, Quick Tables, etc. These seem to me to be templates.
My question is this - Can I create my own Cover Page, header, footer, etc. and
have it saved in this Document Element tool bar as one of the choices so I can
easily insert it into my document? Is so, how?
Thanks,
Barb
