Microsoft Office Template Wizard
In the Corporate Identity (CI) of your company is described who you are, what you do and what your ambitions are with your company. It is your intention to use this Corporate Identity as standard in all your communication media to your customers.
In your Microsoft Word documents and PowerPoint presentations it is desirable too, to use the Coprorate Identity requirements. To make this easier for your employees, Milestre has developed the so called Microsoft Office Template Wizard. Your Corporate Identity is defined in a set of Microsoft Word templates, Microsoft PowerPoint presentations and macro's. Those macro's are responsible for filling in the correct information in the correct position of the template or presentation.
In the first instance the employee is able to define employee and department dependent information in a user profile. After the definition of one or more profiles ( you can define a profile for each role you fulfil in the organisation) the generation of the document or presentation can be started.
Using the Office Template Wizard
The wizard can be used in Microsoft Office 2003 as well as Microsoft Office 2007. When you have started Word or PowerPoint, an new Office Template Wizard (OTW) icon appears in the toolbar.
When you start OTW for the first time, you have to define at least one profile in the user profile window. This is the information that will be used during the generation of the Word document or Powerpoint presentation when the OTW has been finished succesfully.
After the definition and selection of the user profile, a Word template or Powerpoint presetation must be selected. Dependent on the application that is used, Microsoft Word or – PowerPoint, one will see Word templates or PowerPoint presentaties (see figure).
After selection of the template or presentation you are still able to make temporary changes to the profile definitions.
After these changes the wizard is closed and the Word document or Powerpoint presentation is generated automatically conform the Corporate Identity (CI) requirements.
You are also able to select the languages in which the document or presentation must be defined. Dependent on employees role, the language can be selected and defined in different user profiles.
In the figure below the same Word template is chosen but now defined in the dutch language.
You can choose between English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portugese, Japanese and Chinese so that your Corporate Identity is warranted on international level also.
The language wherin the OTW is presented is dependent on the language of your Microsoft Operating System: if you have a dutch operating system, then OTW will be presented in dutch; do you have a french operating system, then OTW will be presented in french.
