Free Microsoft Word Templates

If you have to do anything remotely complicated in Microsoft Word, you can save yourself a lot of time by using a template instead of building your document from scratch. Make Use Of has published a list of six sites where you can get free Word templates.

Out of the six sites, there are two that I would recommend:

• Microsoft itself, in Office templates and themes. Given that this is a Microsoft site, you are likely safe from nasty code lurking in the background of your template. It's organized category, events and occasions, and application.
• Word Templates for Free Download offers a large selection of Word templates, neatly organized by category and with good descriptions.

If you want to do it yourself, here's a post that I wrote a few years ago about how to create a Word template from scratch.
