Creating a Styles Document

After you plan a template, you can create the styles document for the template. This Microsoft Word document defines the layout and formatting of the entire proposal. The layout options you specify are automatically applied to all the component documents for the proposal. This styles document can include headers, footers, logos, and special margins.

Note: Do not enter any content into this document. The content comes from the individual component documents that you create later.

To create a styles document

1. Create a new document in Microsoft Word.

2. Set up margins, headers, footers, fonts, and other layout options for the template.

   For more information about completing these tasks, see the online help for Microsoft Word.

3. Save and close the file.

   Choose a name that uses only alphanumeric characters, and use the DOC file extension for Microsoft Word.
