Looking for a good Template for a MultiChaper/Section Report for Word 2008

[kevink]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I have been searching all over to find a good template for a professional looking report that I will write in Word 2008 for Mac. I would like to have some choices but can not seem to find even one that is suitable. There has to be a library somewhere to download proven templates, preferably for free but at this point I would buy one. I can find countless resume and brochure templates but no REPORT templates.

Is it realistic to find a template that has all the formating set for a report with table of contents, headers and footers, index, chapter numbering and sections?

Thanks for your help,
Kevin

Hi Kevin:

It's NOT realistic, because everyone does their reports slightly
differently.

A report is one of the simpler documents to format: if you understand Word
formatting well, you can make your own template in a few minutes (maybe half
an hour if you are doing it for the first time).

If you don't understand Word formatting well, such a template won't help you
much and you would be better to put your attention into formatting the
report itself.

I explain template creation here (and there's a sample attached which will
suit your purposes rather well...)

You can find a large supply of free report templates here:

To use these templates on a Mac, read here:

Enjoy!
