Ever get tired of creating the same document type, over and over, from scratch? Then don’t. Build a template instead. A template will have all the basic elements of your document in it (a signature block, a custom header/footer, whatever you need), saving you repetitive effort every time you create a new document.
What’s that? You don’t know how to create a template? You’re in luck. I’m about to build one for myself. And I’ll even let you watch over my shoulder while I do it.

One of the things I’m on a rant about these days is loooooong documents. Complicated documents, like 20+ page contracts and appellate briefs and stuff like that.
Why? Because they always seem to need special stuff inserted in them. Like custom headers and footers. And level-1 and level-2 and level-out-the-wazoo headings. It’s enough to make your head spin.
But if you’ve got mad skills and you plan your document right, a lot of this stuff becomes easier. Like putting in a table of contents, for example.

Have you ever been typing along and looked back at what you just typed and discovered that something weird happened? Like, you typed a few dashes, hit return, and suddenly there’s a solid line all the way across the page?
There’s more than one possible explanation for these kinds of oopsies (none of them your fault, fortunately), so there’s more than one fix. Today, we’re going to talk about setting your AutoFormat options.
