To Download:
Click on the template links above. If a dialog box to save the template on your computer does not appear, either right-click or control-click the template link. Make sure that the 3-letter suffix is .dot and NOT .doc. Some browsers will save the file automatically as .doc. Use the right-click or control-click method to manually reset the .doc suffix to .dot.
Where to Save:
To enable use of the templates as MS Word® intends, create a new folder inside the "Template" folder of the Microsoft Office® folder. Name this folder something you will recognize such as "Assessment." Save the templates directly into this folder. Make sure that the 3-letter suffix is .dot and NOT .doc. Some browsers will save the file automatically as .doc. Use the right-click or control-click method to manually reset the .doc suffix to .dot.
How to Use:
Open MS Word® and open the project gallery. If necessary open the folder in which the templates were placed. Then, double click the desired template. A new document will be created with the associated toolbar for the template visible. It is suggested that a little time be spent trying out the various options on the toolbar to see how they work. In music, we call this "practicing." In computers, we call this "wasting time."
