Work with a Word template
- Save a copy of the .docx file and open it in Microsoft Word.
- Replace names, dates, example entries and placeholders.
- Review text wrapping, page size, margins and any signature fields.
- Use Print Preview before printing or exporting your completed copy.
Other document editors may change fonts, line breaks or table spacing. Review the layout in the software you will use.
Work with an Excel template
- Save a separate copy of the workbook.
- Identify the input cells and read any notes on the sheet.
- Replace example entries, keeping dates, currencies and units consistent.
- Check a simple example against a manual calculation before relying on totals.
A formula calculates from the values and assumptions entered. It does not verify the underlying data or establish financial, employment or legal requirements.

If a link does not work
Return to the article and check whether the link is a direct file or an external source page. If comments are available, report the article title, the download label and what happened. Do not include private information or completed documents. An unavailable source may leave a useful preview, but a preview should not be treated as a working download.
