While a single author who knows how to use Word styles and templates can easily manage documents, when multiple "non-writer" authors are involved, Word files often take on a life of their own. This presentation demonstrates several custom templates and teaches how to create and use templates for single or multiple-user environments, where consistent and clean formatting is desired.

Come see the mysteries of Word styles revealed, learn innovative techniques, see how to quickly conquer massive formatting mess-ups, and how to standardize templates for many documents (without attaching a template file such as "normal.dot".)
