Creating your own template If you have created a document that you want to reuse regularly as a basis for a new document, then you can create a template. You can either format the document from scratch, or open a document that you want to use as a template. Choose File > Save as.... Enter the name of the template in the Name: field. From the Save as: drop-down list, choose Templates. Click Save. Confirm in the Mind Express dialog. Only the current page of the document is saved as a template.
