to create your own templates:

Page numbering

Â

Background graphics (watermarks)

Â

A variety of text styles, including body text, headers, footers, callouts, and so on

Â

Table of contents styles

Â

Bullet and numbering styles

Â

Object fills and line styles for objects

Â

Chart colors and styles

Â

The look of tables

Creating your own template can be as simple as adding your company logo to an
existing template, but you can also add images, change placeholder text, or define
new text styles. Or you can start with a blank document and create your own template.
