More Wizards and Templates

Microsoft Word provides many wizards and templates to help you create great documents. For example, the Letter Wizard helps you format a letter for professional or personal use, and the Fax Wizard creates a cover page and sends your document to someone else.

If you have not found the template or wizard you're looking for, look in the following places for additional templates or wizards.

  • Rerun Setup, and click the Custom button to install additional files.

    NOTE: This is the incorrect text that appears in the More Wizards and Templates template.


  • Go to the Microsoft Office Update Web site and download templates and wizards. The Microsoft Office Update Web site is located at the following address on the World Wide Web:


    • http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/downloadCatalog/dldWord.htm
  • If you installed Microsoft Word from a compact disc, insert the CD-ROM disc and double-click the ValuPack folder to see what other templates and wizards are available. Copy the files you want to the following location:


    • C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates
