| Lesson 9: Wizards
And Templates |
| Objective # 1 |
Templates
|
|
 |
First, we shall discuss the
immediate and simple use of templates.
A template is a partially completed
document that contains formatting, text,
and/or graphics.
It is an extremely user-friendly device
that may be as simple in format as a memo or
as complex as the representation of a resume
or newsletter.
Microsoft Word provides a wide array of
templates for common documents including a
resume, agenda, and fax cover sheet.
A template is simply a pre-designed
indication of how you would like to
strategically organize the various portions of
your document in a systematic, clear, and
precise manner.

| Objective # 2 |
Wizards
|
 |
A wizard makes the process even
easier by asking a series of questions, then
creating a customized document based on your
answers.
A wizard or template creates the
initial document for you.
It is then up to you to complete the
document by entering the appropriate
information.
|
| |
| Objective # 3 |
Applications of Wizards
|
 |
Wizards and templates can be
used in conjunction with the development of a
resume. You
have the ability to choose from one of three
existing templates.
This includes contemporary, elegant and
professional to which you then add your
personal information.
Alternatively, you can select the Resume
Wizard to create a customized resume as
was done in the figure above.
After the Resume Wizard is selected, it
prompts you for the information it needs to
create a basic resume.
You specify the style, enter the
requested information, and choose the
necessary headings that would provoke the
qualifications that the employer would need to
know about you prior to beginning the hiring
process.
The wizard will continue to ask
additional questions, after which it will
display the partially completed resume based
on your preceding responses.
You then complete the resume by
entering the specifics of your employment and
additional information.
|
| |
| Objective # 4 |
Documentation
|
 |
As you edit the document, you
can copy and paste information within the
resume, just as you would with a regular
document.
It takes a little practice, but the end
result will be a professionally formatted
resume in a minimum of time.
Microsoft Word also contains templates
and wizards for a variety of other documents.
You can infer this by looking carefully
at the tabs within the dialog box, and it will
help you create letters, faxes, memos,
reports, legal pleadings, publications, and
even Web Pages.
