Go to menu item: Office > Save As > Word Template.When you are finished you should also check the accessibility of the document (See Technique 10, below).Ensure that you follow the techniques in this document.Create a new document (from the default blank template or from one of the prepackaged templates).As well, you can edit and modify the existing prepackaged templates, ensuring their accessibility as you do so and saving them as a new template. It is possible to create your own accessible templates from scratch in Word 2007. These are all accessible by virtue of being blank. The basic installation also includes blank business card, blank label templates, and other blank office-related documents. Word 2007’s default template for new documents is a blank page. If you are unsure whether a template is accessible, you should check a sample document produced when the template is used (see Accessibility Checking, below). For example, a “Meeting Minutes” template might include headings for information relevant to a business meeting, such as “Actions” above a table with rows to denote time and columns for actions of the meeting.īecause templates provide the starting-point for so many documents, accessibility is critical. If errors are found, please report them to: office documents start with a template, which can be as simple as a blank standard-sized page or as complex as a nearly complete document with text, graphics and other content.
