You can use templates as you find them, or you can change them to fit
your needs. You can also create your own library of templates for all sorts
of uses!
Using standard templates
When you open a template, you can use it as is, or you can change it to
suit your needs. When you choose a template from the New/Open dialog
box, the application creates a new document containing the information
in the template you selected. All you do is fill in the information that is
missing or change the information of the place holder text . Place
holders are text that define the type of entry in a location, such as ZIP
CODE" that you later replace with the actual information you want.
To use a template:
1. Start the application you want to use.

document.
