Word templates are distributed as .docx files once published. They open in Word for Windows and Mac, Word for the web, and other editors that read .docx.

A good Word template uses real heading styles, so the contents page, numbering and layout hold together as the document grows. Download the file, open it in Word and it is yours to edit, online or offline.

There are 1032 Microsoft Word templates here, 1 to 21 pages long, part of Microsoft 365.
