Users can utilize a toolbar to search for specific types of templates or choose from a list of suggested topics, one which includes education. Find templates for lesson plans, certificates, calendars, letters, and more.
- [Narrator] In this video, I want to go over…a simple yet powerful tip from Microsoft Word,…and that is to take advantage of their built-in templates.…I've created a lot of documents in my teaching career,…and they're often very tedious to create,…and they really didn't look that good.…And then I began taking advantage of Word templates,…and my life got easier, and my documents looked better.…So let's take a look at what I'm talking about…with regards to templates.…Right now I'm going to go in here and start a new document.…Now normally I would go from a blank document…and create from scratch, but notice here…that Microsoft has a ton of templates,…and over the years, they have gotten better and better.…
Now up here in the search bar, I can search for them.…Let's say for example I want one for a lesson plan.…I'll go ahead and click on search,…and it's going to bring me some templates for lesson plans.…Now I could go ahead and click on one of those.…It will download it, and I can begin customizing it.…So I can go in here and start adding in…
