Save a Marketing Document as a Word Template

Don’t you wish you could open your own letterhead or marketing documents in Word just like it was a pre-designed layout from Microsoft’s free template library? You can! A document saved as a Microsoft Word Template creates a copy of the original with each new use. This makes creating new projects convenient and you’ll never overwrite your original document. In the example below, I will show you how to save a StockLayouts flyer layout as a Word Template for future use.

1. Open or create your marketing piece.
