We know templates aren’t a one-size-fits-all deal. To find the right template, simply launch the new Word and search for the type of document you’d like to create. Need to work on your resume for that next big opportunity, but aren’t sure what content will impress your interviewer? We have templates that can help you out. We offer a variety of templates to make it quick and easy. You might need to write your resume, print a birthday card, or create a report. If you have a specific task or document look in mind, searching for the right template can save you time and help you create a great final product.

If you have custom templates you can view them on the Start screen in a separate tab. You can simply double click a pinned template’s thumbnail to quickly open the template. Pinned templates will never show a preview. Clicking on a template will show you a larger thumbnail and provide a brief description about the template. You can pin the documents and templates that matter most so that they’re only a click away when starting Word. It allows you to start from recent documents, templates, or from a blank document in just a few clicks. The new Start experience in Word is designed with that in mind. You might want to read or review a document, continue writing a document you’ve already started, or start something new from an existing document or template. When you start Word you don’t always want to start from a blank page.

In this release, we wanted to make it easier than ever for you to create those documents.
