How to save forms as templates on your local hard drive:
This step will allow you to customize forms so that you only have to enter your personal information (name, RLT, etc.) once on each form. First, select a form from one of the lists on this page and choose "open" rather than "save" if an initial dialog box appears. Once the form opens, select "Save As" from the File menu. When the save as dialog box appears, select "Document Template (*.dot)" from the "save as type:" pull-down list. The save-as location should then change to the Word template folder (the folder should be called "Templates"). If one doesn't already exist within the Templates folder, create a "Forms" folder and save the form in this folder. Without closing the form yet, edit the appropriate fields (name, RLT, etc.) to reflect your personal information. Save the file and then close it. The next time you want to use the form, open Word and select "New" from the File menu (do not use the "ctrl-N" shortcut). You should see the forms folder and be able to open any forms you have saved with your personal information. The form will open as an unnamed file labeled something like "Document1". You can enter information in the form and save it under an appropriate name without affecting your original template. For more information on using Templates, use help within Word (press F1 in the Word application) or search for "using Word templates" on the Web.
