Word Templates

Brochet have been developing Word templates for more than 16 years and have an in depth knowledge of all versions of Microsoft Word. Whilst we go right back our work is predominantly in Word 2007 and 2010. Many large corporates are still using Office 2003 but the majority have plans to migrate.

To date we have been able to meet every client request to develop a custom feature in Word.

The easiest way to get to grips with our templates is to see them working live. We are very happy to come and show you some of our work and discuss any issues you have. Alternatively we demonstrate live over the internet using WebEx. We also have a short video of a simple letter template in use.

Key benefits

• Easy to use solutions, minimal training. Most clients are able to start using our templates without training or with a maximum of an hour's demonstration
  
• Easy to install and maintain no additional IT costs because they are developed within Word (using VBA and Visual Studio). All company information (address details etc) is held in a single, separate data file allowing the client to make text changes (address, partner lists) with minimum testing.
• Value for money one client installed a suite of our Word templates in 2003 and did not require our help until 2007 when they re-branded. During this time they moved offices twice and opened a number of new European offices the details of which appeared on their letterheads.
• Improved productivity as staff can create documents in the corporate style more swiftly without having in-depth knowledge of Word.
  
• Highly reliable and robust using a separate data file means that changes do not affect the functioning of the templates and reducing the testing / down time.
• Consistent corporate brand everyone can create documents that have a consistent and professional look and feel.

For many people the way in which we can develop Microsoft Word to suit your business can be a real surprise. It goes well beyond a layout where you need to highlight and overtype text. We create a straightforward introductory screen which allows you to input the main information into the document. It is then supported by a dedicated toolbar which gives quick access to specific styles and functions. The basics of how our templates work are explained in What is a Word template?

In the last year some of our clients have returned simply because they are re-branding or migrating to Office 2007.
