Using a Word 2010 Template

  1. Create a new file from an existing template: File > New > New From Existing > Find your MLA Template in your Directory > Create New
  2. Note that a new document opens from the template you created. You should now determine a name for this report and save it before beginning!
  3. You are now ready to make some needed changes to this report template before you begin writing. If this were for another class, you would need to update the teacher name and class name. Note that the date should be updated automatically each time you use this template. Because this report is for Microsoft Office, you need only create a title for the report! Name this report Views in Office 2010
  4. Save
