Use Microsoft Office Templates and save time

Template documents are often helpful to make a quick start with a document that you’re looking to create. Let me give you an example: Our club wanted to design a calendar for the club year. I was thinking of creating a calendar on Excel. Then I thought "May be, some one has already created a calendar. Let me check the Microsoft templates site". I went to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT101425251033.aspx and found out that there were already 68 different formats for 2007 calendar!! I quickly downloaded the format and customized it for our club needs. I managed to do it within 30 minutes. If I didn't have the template, it would have taken me at least 3 hours to design our club calendar. The point is simple: check the Microsoft template site before you create a document. It could be Power Point, Word, Excel or even an Access database.
