How to Open and Use the Template:

  1. Launch MS Word.
  2. Locate the drive and file path where you saved your template and open.
  3. At this time, you may get a window that pops up asking you to enable macros. This is a
    standard security measure of MS Word to prevent a virus from infecting the computer.
    Click the button to enable macros, as there is no chance of any virus being transported
    to your computer through the templates. The macros must be enabled for the
    template’s special features to work.
  4. Once you make changes to your template and resave, make sure the document is
    saved as a Word .doc file. Any changes you have made, as well as the template’s
    features, will remain intact for the next time you open the draft.
