How to create a reusable template in Word?
Easily make a Word document template from scratch inside Microsoft Word. In the desktop app, select File > Save As, then choose Word Template (.dotx) from the file type list. A .dotx template opens as a new document each time and can be stored locally, in OneDrive, or in SharePoint. Word for the web does not support saving .dotx templates. Instead, save the document template as a standard .docx file in OneDrive and create a copy whenever you need. You can also browse built‑in Word templates from File > New for additional starting points.
If you don't know how to begin, edit an existing Word template, then customize with brand colors, fonts, and media. You can also chat with Copilot to generate a template for you using AI.
