Template field in word

If you frequently create a certain type of document, such as a monthly report, a sales forecast, or a presentation with a company logo, save it as a template so you can use that as your starting point instead of recreating the file from scratch each time you need it.

If you think of your current document as a template, you can save it with a different name to create a new document that’s based on the current one. Whenever you want to create a document like that, you’ll open your document in Word for the web, go to File > Save As, and create a document that’s a copy of the one you started with.

Save a copy to OneDrive

On the other hand, if you’re thinking of the kind of templates you see by going to File > New, then no: you can’t create those in Word for the web.

Instead, do this:

If you have the Word desktop application, use the Open in Word command in Word for the web to open the document in Word on your desktop.

Image of the Open in Desktop App command

From there, create a template. When you go to File > New in the Word desktop application, you’ll be able to use your template for new documents. And if you store the documents online, you can edit them in Word for the web.

Microsoft Word gives you the ability to create a wide range of print-formatted documents and templates, including letters, envelopes, labels and forms. The 2007 and 2010 versions of the program also allow you to insert form fields in a template, although this functionality is hidden by default. Fortunately, once you reveal the corresponding menu tab, creating and formatting your own fields becomes a quick process that requires only a few clicks.

Reveal the Developer Tab

Click the «File» or «Office» button near the top left corner of the program window.

Select «Options» if you use Word 2010. In Word 2007, select «Word Options.»

Select the «Customize Ribbon» tab in the resulting dialog box if you use Word 2010. In Word 2007, select the «Popular» tab.

Check the «Developer» box if you use Word 2010. In Word 2007, check the «Show Developer tab in the Ribbon» box.

Click «OK» to confirm the change and enable the selected tab.

Insert a Form Field

Press the «Ctrl» and «O» keys. In the resulting dialog box, locate your Word template and then open it by double-clicking its icon.

Select the «Developer» tab located near the top of the program window, and click on the area of the template where you want the form field created.

Look to the «Controls» section of the «Developer» tab, and then click on the icon that represents your preferred form field type (e.g., «Text,» «Drop-Down List,» «Combo Box»). The form field is inserted immediately.

Click the newly inserted field to select it, and then click the «Properties» button in the «Controls» section of the «Developer» tab.

Specify in the resulting dialog box the styles and behaviors you want to apply to the field, and then click «OK» to confirm your choices.

    Click the downloaded template. After the template downloads, you’ll usually see the file name at the bottom-left corner (or upper-right corner in some browsers). Click it to open it, or double-click the file in your default downloads folder to open it. This opens the template in Word, but if it contains macros, it may open in a special view called Protected View.

    • Word opens the template in Protected View for your protection, just in case you downloaded the template from somewhere other than Microsoft.

    Create your document from the template. Templates nearly always come with some pre-filled information that you can erase and type over. You can also customize other aspects of the template as needed using any tool in Word.

    Save your edited file as a Word document. When you’re ready to save your completed Word document, click the File menu and select Save as. Select a folder to save your file to, give it a name, and make sure .DOCX is the file type (unless you have a reason to choose another file type). Click Save to save your new file.

    • Saving your file will not make changes to the original template. You can always create a new file from the same blank template at any time.
    • If you do want to save over the original template because you’ve made changes to it that you’ll want to keep in the template permanently, see the Creating a Template method.

kak-sozdat-shablon-v-word

Если вы часто работаете в MS Word, сохранение документа в качестве шаблона наверняка вас заинтересует. Так, наличие шаблонного файла, с установленным вами форматированием, полями и прочими параметрами, может во многом упростить и ускорить рабочий процесс.

Шаблон, создаваемый в ворде, сохраняется в форматах DOT, DOTX или DOTM. Последний разрешает работу с макросами.

Что такое шаблоны в Ворде

Шаблон — это особый тип документа, при его открытии и последующем изменении создается копия файла. Исходный (шаблонный) документ при этом остается неизменным, как и его местоположение на диске.

primer-shablona-v-word

В качестве примера того, каким может быть шаблон документа и зачем вообще он нужен, можно привести бизнес-план. Документы этого типа довольно часто создаются в Word, следовательно, используют их тоже довольно часто.

Так, вместо того, чтобы каждый раз заново создавать структуру документа, выбирать подходящие шрифты, стили оформления, устанавливать размеры полей, можно просто использовать шаблон со стандартным макетом. Согласитесь, такой подход к работе куда более рационален.

primer-shablona-2-v-word

Документ, сохраненный в качестве шаблона, можно открыть и заполнить необходимыми данными, текстом. При этом, сохраняя его в стандартных для Word форматах DOC и DOCX, исходный документ (созданный шаблон), будет оставаться неизменным, как уже было сказано выше.

Большинство шаблонов, которые могут вам понадобиться для работы с документами в Ворде, можно найти на официальном сайте (office.com). Кроме того, в программе можно создавать собственные шаблоны, а также изменять уже существующие.

primer-shablona-3-v-word

Примечание: Часть шаблонов уже встроена в программу, но часть из них, хоть и отображается в списке, на самом деле находится на сайте Office.com. После того, как вы нажмете на такой шаблон, он будет мгновенно скачан с сайта и доступен для работы.

Создание собственного шаблона

Проще всего будет начать создание шаблона с пустого документа, для открытия которого достаточно просто запустить Word.

Если вы используете одну из последних версий MS Word, при открытии программы вас будет встречать стартовая страница, на которой уже можно будет выбрать один из доступных шаблонов. Особенно радует то, что все они удобно рассортированы по тематическим категориям.

otkryit-dokument-v-word

И все же, если вы сами хотите создать шаблон, выберите “Новый документ”. Будет открыт стандартный документ с установленными в нем параметрами по умолчанию. Эти параметры могут быть, как программными (заданными разработчиками), так и созданными вами (если ранее вы сохраняли те или иные значения в качестве используемых по умолчанию).

novyiy-dokument-v-word

Используя наши уроки, внесите необходимые изменения в документ, который в дальнейшем будет использоваться в качестве шаблона.

Помимо выполнения вышеперечисленных действий в качестве параметров по умолчанию для документа, который будет использоваться как шаблон, можно также добавить подложку, водяные знаки или любые графические объекты. Все, что вы измените, добавите и сохраните в дальнейшем будет присутствовать в каждом документе, созданном на основе вашего шаблона.

Вставка знаков и специальных символов

После того, как вы внесете необходимые изменения, зададите параметры по умолчанию в будущий шаблон, его необходимо сохранить.

1. Нажмите кнопку “Файл” (или “MS Office”, если используете старую версию Word).

primer-shablona-2-v-word

2. Выберите пункт “Сохранить как”.

fayl-sohranit-v-word

3. В выпадающем меню “Тип файла” выберите подходящий тип шаблона:

    • Шаблон Word (*.dotx): обычный шаблон, совместимый со всеми версиями Ворда старше 2003 года;
    • Шаблон Word с поддержкой макросов (*.dotm): как понятно из названия, данный тип шаблонов поддерживает работу с макросами;
    • Шаблон Word 97 — 2003 (*.dot): совместим со старыми версиями Ворд 1997 — 2003.

4. Задайте имя файла, укажите путь для его сохранения и нажмите “Сохранить”.

5. Созданный и настроенный вами файл будет сохранен в качестве шаблона в заданном вами формате. Теперь его можно закрыть.

Создание шаблона на основе существующего документа или стандартного шаблона

1. Откройте пустой документ MS Word, перейдите во вкладку “Файл” и выберите пункт “Создать”.

Примечание: В последних версиях Ворда при открытии пустого документа пользователю сразу предлагается перечень шаблонных макетов, на основе которых можно создать будущий документ. Если вы хотите получить доступ ко всем шаблонам, при открытии выберите “Новый документ”, а затем уже выполните действия, описанные в пункте 1.

2. Выберите подходящий шаблон в разделе “Доступные шаблоны”.

sozdat-nvoyiy-dokument-v-word

Примечание: В последних версиях Word ничего выбирать не нужно, список доступных шаблонов появляется сразу после нажатия на кнопку “Создать”, непосредственно над шаблонами находится перечень доступных категорий.

3. Внесите в документ необходимые изменения, воспользовавшись нашими советами и инструкциями, представленными в предыдущем разделе статьи (Создание собственного шаблона).

shablonnyiy-dokument-v-word

Примечание: Для разных шаблонов стили оформления текста, которые доступны по умолчанию и представлены во вкладке “Главная” в группе “Стили”, могут быть разными и заметно отличаться от тех, что вы привыкли видеть в стандартном документе.

stili-v-shablone-v-word

    Совет: Воспользуйтесь доступными стилями для того, чтобы сделать свой будущий шаблон действительно уникальным, не похожим на остальные документы. Конечно, делайте это лишь в том случае, если вас не ограничивают требования к оформлению документа.

izmeneniya-v-shablone-v-word

4. После того, как вы внесете необходимые изменения в документ, выполните все те настройки, которые посчитаете нужными, сохраните файл. Для этого нажмите на вкладку “Файл” и выберите “Сохранить как”.

fayl-sohranit-v-word

5. В разделе “Тип файла” выберите подходящий тип шаблона.

sohranit-kak-v-word

6. Задайте имя для шаблона, укажите через “Проводник” (“Обзор”) путь для его сохранения, нажмите кнопку “Сохранить”.

sohranenie-dokumenta-v-word

7. Шаблон, созданный вами на основе существующего, будет сохранен вместе со всеми внесенными вами изменениями. Теперь этот файл можно закрыть.

shablon-v-formate-dotx-sohranen-v-word

Добавление стандартных блоков к шаблону

Стандартными блоками называют многократно используемые элементы, содержащиеся в документе, а также те компоненты документа, которые хранятся в коллекции и доступны для использования в любое время. Хранить стандартные блоки и распространять их можно с помощью шаблонов.

Так, используя стандартные блоки, вы можете создать шаблон отчета, в котором будут содержаться сопроводительные письма двух и более типов. При этом, создавая новый отчет на основе данного шаблона, другие пользователи смогут выбрать любой из доступных типов.

1. Создайте, сохраните и закройте шаблон, созданный вами с учетом всех требований. Именно в этот файл будут добавляться стандартные блоки, которые в дальнейшем будут доступны другим пользователям созданного вами шаблона.

2. Откройте шаблонный документ, к которому необходимо добавить стандартные блоки.

3. Создайте необходимые стандартные блоки, которые в дальнейшем будут доступны для других пользователей.

Примечание: При введении сведений в диалоговое окно “Создание нового стандартного блока” введите в строке “Сохранить в” имя шаблона, к которому их необходимо добавить (это тот файл, который вы создали, сохранили и закрыли согласно первому пункту данного раздела статьи).

Теперь созданный вами шаблон, содержащий стандартные блоки, может быть предоставлен другим пользователям. Сами же блоки, сохраненные вместе с ним, будут доступны в заданных коллекциях.

Добавление элементов управления содержимым к шаблону

В некоторых ситуациях требуется придать шаблону вместе со всем его содержимым некоторую гибкость. Например, шаблон может содержать раскрывающийся список, созданный автором. По тем или иным причинам этот список может не устроить другого пользователя, которому доведется с ним работать.

Если в таком шаблоне будут присутствовать элементы управления содержимым, второй пользователь сможет подкорректировать список под себя, оставив его неизменным в самом шаблоне. Чтобы добавить в шаблон элементы управления содержимым, необходимо включить вкладку “Разработчик” в MS Word.

1. Откройте меню “Файл” (или “MS Office” в более ранних версиях программы).

fayl-v-word

2. Откройте раздел “Параметры” и выберите там пункт “Настройка ленты”.

parametryi-nastroyka-lentyi-v-word

3. В разделе “Основные вкладки” установите галочку напротив пункта “Разработчик”. Для закрытия окна нажмите “ОК”.

parametryi-vklyuchit-rezhim-razrabotchika-v-word

4. Вкладка “Разработчик” появится на панели управления Ворд.

vkladka-razrabotchik-v-word

Добавление элементов управления содержанием

1. Во вкладке “Разработчик” нажмите на кнопку “Режим конструктора”, расположенную в группе “Элементы управления”.

elementyi-upravleniya-v-word

Вставьте в документ необходимые элементы управления, выбрав их из представленных в одноименной группе:

  • Форматированный текст;
  • Обычный текст;
  • Рисунок;
  • Коллекция стандартных блоков;
  • Поле со списком;
  • Раскрывающийся список;
  • Выбор даты;
  • Флажок;
  • Повторяющийся раздел.

Добавление пояснительного текста к шаблону

Сделать шаблон более удобным в использовании можно с помощью пояснительного текста, добавленного в документ. Если это необходимо, стандартный пояснительный текст всегда можно изменить в элементе управления содержимым. Для настройки пояснительного текста по умолчанию для пользователей, которые будут использовать шаблон, необходимо выполнить следующие действия.

1. Включите “Режим конструктора” (вкладка “Разработчик”, группа “Элементы управления”).

rezhim-konstruktora-v-word

2. Кликните по тому элементу управления содержимым, в котором необходимо добавить или изменить пояснительный текст.

dobavlenie-poyasnitelnogo-teksta-v-word

Примечание: Пояснительный текст по умолчанию находится в небольших блоках. Если “Режим конструктора” отключен, эти блоки не отображаются.

3. Измените, отформатируйте замещающий текст.

4. Отключите “Режим конструктора” повторным нажатием на эту кнопку на панели управления.

5. Пояснительный текст будет сохранен для текущего шаблона.

На этом мы закончим, из этой статьи вы узнали о том, что представляют собой шаблоны в Microsoft Word, как их создавать и изменять, а также обо всем том, что с ними можно делать. Это действительно полезная функция программы, во многом упрощающая работу с ней, особенно, если над документами работает не один, а сразу несколько пользователей, не говоря уже о крупных компаниях.
