How To Save Time With Templates in Google Docs?

A template is an easy way to save time when working on a document in Google Docs. A template is a document that contains formatting and boilerplate text. All you need to do is add your content. You can reuse your template over and over. There are plenty of templates available for Google Docs. But if you can't find one that suits your needs, you can create your own.





1- First, you must create a document upon which to base your template. Include any formatting and text you would like to include in documents based on your template. Then, save the document as you normally would.


2- Select the document to use as a template in the Google Docs document list. Then click More actions>>Submit to template gallery.
 

3- On the next screen, confirm that you have selected the correct document. Enter a brief description of the template and then select a category from the dropdown list. You'll also want to specify a language. When you're done, click Submit Template.
 

4- When you submit a template to the template gallery, it is made publicly available to all Google Docs users. So, you should not include any sensitive information in your template.
 

5- If you want to create a template that isn't made public, things are a little more difficult. Save your template as a normal file. Then, create a copy of it when you want to create other documents based on it.
