The term template, when used in the context of word processing software, refers to a sample document that has already some details in place; those can be adapted (that is added/completed, removed or changed, differently from a fill-in-the-blank approach as in a form) either by hand or through an automated iterative process, such as with a software assistant. Once the template is completed, the user can edit, save and manage the result as an ordinary word processing document. Word processing templates enable the ability to bypass the initial setup and configuration time necessary to create standardized documents such as a resume. They also enable the automatic configuration of the user interface of the word processing software, with features such as autocompletion, toolbars, thesaurus, and spelling options. Word processing templates are ordinarily included as a regular feature in most word processing software. In addition, users of such software often have the option to create and save their own templates, to acquire them from the original vendor of the software, or from third parties. == Overview == Word processing templates provide functionality for: * "fill-in-the-blank" completion of routinely used document classes or (a stencil/master copy) * mail merge to produce personalized mailings * time-saving document-fragment creation (for items such as headers footers and boilerplate) * time-saving GUI-configuration (for configuring the desktop GUI with precisely the desired standard look and feel, usually tailored to a given profession or industry) * time-saving user standardization (for ensuring a specific user or workgroup has access to documents that are unique to the user's role in the organization) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Template (word processing)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
