Word Templates
We’ve created a template with some good crimson (go Cougs!) heading styles. Watch the video below to learn how to use styles!
Using this template and its paragraph styles has a few advantages:
- Speed: It’s fast—open the Styles pane, click on your text, click on the style, and it’s formatted!
- Simplicity: No more clicking around, tweaking the formatting over and over, and then worrying that it’s inconsistent—the formatting is built into the style!
-
Table of Contents: Using these styles enables you to create a table of contents for your document—users can see at a glance what your document contains and click through quickly and easily to get to the section they are seeking.
Our Word templates contain style sheets to make your work consistent. Download the Curriculum template of your choice below.
