# Setting up Microsoft Application Templates

There are Enable Templates available in Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

These have the Enable colour themes, page dimensions, page layouts and sometimes contents, tables and other features expected for use in standard documents. For ready access to the templates a user needs to set up the shared Enable templates folder as their ‘Default personal templates location’ in each of the applications. ​

#### To set up the templates in your applications:

| Step 1 | Sync the templates folder                                                                                                                  |

|        | Found in Teams under Enable General in the Files section. Go to 02. Work Standards and Tools > 01. Templates then press the “Sync” button. |

| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|        | Navigate to the sync folder location in File Explorer to copy the filepath that commences with “C: ” (e.g. “C:\Users\JoeBloggs\Enable Advisory Pty Ltd\Enable - Blank Documents\”). |
