Lately it seems as if I’ve had Bytes for folks in Minnesota, business people, or web site owners – well, today’s Byte is for everyone.

I had to make a flyer this week. Whenever I have to make something like that I always start with Microsoft Templates (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/default.aspx). I did a search on “flier” and got 100 choices back. But revisiting the site just reminded me of how much I like it.

Right now they are featuring checklist templates. I think I might use their kids chore list (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC100760011033.aspx) – although the house cleaning checklist (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC100762411033.aspx) did not seem as appealing for some reason.

They also had Halloween templates (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA012301241033.aspx) and event planning tools (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT062640421033.aspx).

The search is pretty good. So, the next time you have to create a document or project on the computer – don’t start from scratch, start with the Microsoft Templates. I know if saved me at least an hour with the flier I created. (They even have template letters, such as cover letters for job and fundraising requests.)
