Using Wizards

A wizard is a feature that asks questions and then uses our answers to automatically layout and format a document, such as a newsletter or a résumé. A template is a special kind of document that provides basic tools for shaping a final document. Templates can contain the following elements

• Text or formatting that’s same in every document of same type, such as a memo or a report
• Styles

We can use several wizards and templates to save time creating many common types of documents, such as legal pleadings, memos, letters, faxes, reports, theses, directories, newsletters, manuals, brochures, calendars, Web pages, time sheets, agendas, résumés, purchase orders, and invoices.
