Customize the Templates and make an Installation
You are about to create your own corporately-themed installation, which you can deploy across the enterprise.
Note: It is not possible to modify templates (.dot files) directly, this has to be done through a proper Word document (.doc files).
Download the ZIP file
Unpack it to a temporary folder
Do the same for each of the file:
Go to the Generic folder and open a template. A document will be created, titled something similar to Document1.doc.
Edit the .doc files - at the very least you should add a logo on the front page (bottom-right) and change the tag {Company Name} to that of your company.
Do a 'Save As...' in Word and save the file as a .dot template in the Template Installation folder.
You now have an installation folder, Template Installation, that contains all the templates and an installation script called Install.bat.
Zip the Template Installation folder up and deploy this on each PC what requires the new Word document templates. The installation will probably be called Template Installation.zip
Installation Instructions
Deploy the Template Installation.zip file to the target machine
Unpack it to a temporary folder
Execute the batch file: Install.bat
