Work Order Template

In 2012 I downloaded a Work Order template from the Microsoft site.  By hitting Save instead of Save As, I ruined the template and want to download it again.  It has green lines and greyish gradient.  I am running Word 2010.  Is this template available.

If you have the template still open (a long shot), you could Undo all the changes you made before the Save, then save again. But if it is truly a template (.dotx or .dotm), then you should have been working with a new document based on the template, not the template itself. The default action for true templates is to create a new document (New) rather than to open the file (Open or Edit).

That said, if I use File | New in Word 2010 and search Office Online for "work order," I get quite a few results, including one called "Green Gradient design."

Ms. Barnhill, I closed out after I hit Save and the file extension was .docx.  Already in Word, I did not see similar templates with Work Order in the center, although one of them might be a variation of the one I corrupted.  Additionally, I don't think this big blurb appears in any one of them, "The following number must appear on all related correspondence, shipping papers, and invoices:"

I tried googling "template The following number must appear on all related correspondence, shipping papers, and invoices" and came up with a hit that gave me a work order template that seems to meet your description. It's a .doc file (Open or Save), so I can't provide a URL except the Google link, but here's how the Google link appears:

This particular template appears poorly designed (width of the text doesn't match margin width), but easy to use, and maybe it's the one you were looking for.

Edit: Note that this file is provided as a template (WorkOrder.dot), but if you choose Open (in the Open or Save dialog), you'll get a Word document (Document2 in my case). Instead choose Save As and save the template in your templates folder.

Thanks.  I already had that one; but I was able to recreate the original from one of my Saved documents by copying and pasting from other documents.
