Create and Delete Templates in Office 2008

Create a Word Template 

Microsoft Office 2008 allows you to create templates for Word 97-2004 (.dot) or Word Template (.dotx). To create a custom template:

• Open a new word document and style in accordingly.  
• Navigate to File>Save as
• Choose either Word 97-2004 (.dot) or Word Template (.dotx)

Now your template will be accessible whenever you launch Microsoft Word as a choice from the Project Gallery under My Templates.

To Delete a Microsoft Office Template

The template file is stored at Home Folder>Library>Application Support>Microsoft Office>User Templates>My Templates. Navigate there and delete your template file by dragging it to the trash icon.
