Multiple style templates

[Guest]

1. How do I save different style templates, i.e. each template comprises
different styles/ formats for Normal, Heading, etc.?
2. If #1 can be done, how do I set a default template for Word document and
e-mail? (My outlook uses Word 2003 to edit e-mail messages)?
3. How do I swap between different templates? So, for e.g., I set e-mail to
always use Template 1, under which "Normal" uses Arial+font 10+Red colour.
But for a particular e-mail, I want to use another template I've previously
saved (Template 2), under which "Normal" uses Times New Roman+Bold+Black
Colour.

1. Use Save/SaveAs on the File menu.

2. Default is called normal.dot

3. Create your document using the template of your choice.

I've saved a new template but how do I get my new e-mails to use this
template automatically, i.e. I would like to just create new e-mail and
compose my message on this template.

For a start, see

The easiest way to start Word with a document based on a specific template
is to put a shortcut to that template on your desktop.

Thanks! That was very useful.
Can you also tell me which template Outlook uses to create new e-mails? I
want to find that and edit that too.

But, do not save a template you've created as normal.dot.
