What Is A Template?

More about Templates

• Some templates -- such as most award
  certificates, student progress updates, and
  seating charts -- are available in word
  processing documents. You can modify and
  individualize those before saving or printing
  them.
• Other templates are designed to be printed and
  used "as is." You can make modifications, such as
  adding a specific name or date, after printing
  the product. Most non-modifiable documents are
  created in PDF (portable document format), a file
  format that has the advantage of maintaining all
  the formatting of the original document.
