Microsoft Word-Templates

Hello, I am trying to create a word template. When I save it as a template and then load in as a document to put text on it the images move around and when I try to add a new page to the document the template doesn't come with the new page. Does anyone know how to fix this? 

Hi Zach,

Could you please make a copy of the template and save it on OneDrive or DropBox. Paste a view link here. Remove any confidential or proprietary information.

That is the easiest way to help you figure out what is going on.

BTW, Word does not really work using pages, all appearances to the contrary. It creates pages, but it does not think in pages.

Word Doesn't Know What a Page Is

The way Word works in concept is that you type and pages are added as needed for what you type. Could you let us know how you are trying to add a page?

Word is very different in concept from PowerPoint where you add slides to a stack or Excel where you add sheets to a workbook.

Hi Zach,

Thanks for sharing your experience in our community.

  

Per your description, I did a test in Word version 16.44 for Mac Big Sur, here are my steps:
Go to Word> click File> Save as Template> go to New> click the template I created> and I can add a new page to the new template file.
 

   

May I confirm my steps are same as yours? If not, please point out and we will test it again.

Regarding to your issue, if my steps are same as yours, except what Charles provided, I would like to suggest you update Word to the latest version and see the result again.

   

Besides, here are some information we want to confirm with you to further investigate:

  

1. You current Mac Os version and Word version. Go to Apple menu> click “About This Mac” and capture the screenshot of it; go to Word> click Word> capture the screenshot of “About Microsoft Word”. (You can click “Insert image” and upload the screenshots here.)

  

2. May I know just this specific template file has the issue? If convenient, can you create a new template file and check the result?

  

3. Did you receive any prompt or error? If yes, please provide the screenshot of it.

4. Do other applications like PowerPoint, Excel, etc. also encounter the same problem?

5. Most importantly, what do you mean “then load in as a document to put text on it the images move around”, can you provide some screenshots about your scenario? 

We highly appreciate your effort and time to share any information if you still have concern. 😊

 

Best regards,
Gloria

Word and my computer are both up to date and I have tried to make multiple templates but they all come out with the same issue. I used the same steps:
Go to Word> click File> Save as Template> go to New> click the template I created. But it is the same issue where the new page is completely blank. I never received an error. What I meant by that comment was one time when I trying to put text into the document the logo/image became half off the page and the lines as well. Here is my template that I created. When I get to a new page the lines and the image/logo in the top right don't come with and the new page it is just blank.

Put the things you want to repeat in your header.

In Word, things to go on every page should be in headers or footers. Here are a couple of links that may help with the concepts.
