If i have a template for documents that have to be filled in with different information how do i create a copy of the blank template so i can re-use it.At the moment when the template is filled in i have to delete all the information and start again,can i just copy the blank template so i don't have to continually delete and start again.Hope you got that.

    One option is to fill the form in, then click file, save as, name the file, then you keep that and the original, which would be empty ready for re-use.

    And set the template to read-only so you can't over-write it by accident.

    Any posts are my opinion and only that. Please read at your own risk.

    Assuming this to be referring to MS Word, the template should be saved as a template, a .DOT file.

    When you open the template, and fill the fields in, you then save it as a Word Doc, or .DOC file. That leaves the template untouched.

    Word will do this for you, you just have to use it the right way....
