Work Order Template

Question

In 2012 I downloaded a Work Order template from the Microsoft site.  By hitting Save instead of Save As, I ruined the template and want to download it again.  It has green lines and greyish gradient.  I am running Word 2010.  Is this template available.

Answer 1

Thanks.  I already had that one; but I was able to recreate the original from one of my Saved documents by copying and pasting from other documents.

Answer 2

I tried googling "template The following number must appear on all related correspondence, shipping papers, and invoices" and came up with a hit that gave me a work order template that seems to meet your description. It's a .doc file (Open or Save), so I can't provide a URL except the Google link, but here's how the Google link appears:

This particular template appears poorly designed (width of the text doesn't match margin width), but easy to use, and maybe it's the one you were looking for.

Edit: Note that this file is provided as a template (WorkOrder.dot), but if you choose Open (in the Open or Save dialog), you'll get a Word document (Document2 in my case). Instead choose Save As and save the template in your templates folder.

Answer 3

Ms. Barnhill, I closed out after I hit Save and the file extension was .docx.  Already in Word, I did not see similar templates with Work Order in the center, although one of them might be a variation of the one I corrupted.  Additionally, I don't think this big blurb appears in any one of them, **"**The following number must appear on all related correspondence, shipping papers, and invoices:"

Answer 4

If you have the template still open (a long shot), you could Undo all the changes you made before the Save, then save again. But if it is truly a template (.dotx or .dotm), then you should have been working with a new document based on the template, not the template itself. The default action for true templates is to create a new document (New) rather than to open the file (Open or Edit).

That said, if I use File | New in Word 2010 and search Office Online for "work order," I get quite a few results, including one called "Green Gradient design."
