-===== Installing and Using the NNELS Template =====
-<note>The instructions below may vary depending on your OS and version of Word. Please share any instructions that work for you! See Further Resources at the bottom of the page for some helpful links</note>
-====Download Template to Computer ====
-The first thing you have to do is download the template to your computer.
-  - Download the {{:cooperative:users:farrah:nnels_styles.dotx|NNELS Template}}
-  - Put the template file into the Templates folder of Microsoft Word. The location of this folder may differ depending on your operating system and version of Word. See [[using-nnels-template#user_templates_file_location|User Templates File Location]] below for locating your Templates folder.
-<note>You only have to download the ''NNELS Template'' once, but you will have to clear the styles and upload the template every time you start a new document.</note>
-====Clear Styles and Import Template to Document====
-For each new document you produce, you will have to clear the styles, and upload the NNELS Template.
-First you need to Clear the Styles:
-  * Open the document that you want to edit in Word
-  * Go to ''Format'' in the main menu bar in Word
-  * Click on ''Style''
-  * Click on ''Organizer''
-  * You should see 2 columns. One column (on the left) will display all the Styles in your current document. {{organizer_word_for_mac.png?linkonly|View Organizer window}}
-  * Delete all the styles in the current document:
-     * Highlight all the styles in the current document and select ''Delete''.
-  * Close the Organizer window.
-<note>There are a few ''Default Styles'' that can't be deleted. Simply hit okay until finished. Once done, you will only see the ''Default Styles'' in the Organizer window.</note>
-<note tip>You can use the short cut ''ctrl + A'' for windows or ''command + A'' for Mac to select all styles.</note>
-Now the styles are cleared you can import the ''NNELS Template'' to your document.
-  * Go to ''Tools'' in the main menu bar in Word
-  * Click on ''Templates and Add-ins…'' {{templates_and_addins_word_for_mac.png?linkonly|View Templates and Addins window}}
-  * You should see an option to attach a Document Template to the current file. Click ''Attach''.
-  * Find the ''NNELS_Styles.dotx'' that you put in your Templates folder and attach it.
-  * Check ''Automatically update document styles''
-  * Click OK. This will close the window.
-  * Open your Styles Pane
-  * Select Show all the Styles
-  * You should see a bunch of new styles that have been imported from the NNELS Template. The styles all have “DAISY” in the Style name, except for the Heading 1-6 styles, Strong, and Emphasis. {{nnels_styles.png?linkonly|View NNELS Styles}}
-  * Start applying these styles to text in the document!
-There is no need to make any modifications to the Styles as they're already set-up
-For instructions on applying the styles, see: [[https://wiki.libraries.coop/doku.php?id=cooperative:users:farrah:style-mappings-word-daisy|NNELS Styles]]
-====User Templates File Location====
-You can discover where your copy of Word stores its templates by looking in the Preferences. Choose **Word** | **Preferences** and under **Personal Settings** choose **File Locations**. The location is given beside the item **User Templates** in the list. If the location is abbreviated and you cannot read it properly, click the **Modify** button and explore the location.
-If you use a Mac, you can use spotlight search and search for ''templates''. The folder should come up in your search.
-By default, user templates files are stored in the following location:
-**In Windows XP**:
-<code>C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates</code>
-**In Windows Vista or in Windows 7**:
-<code>C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates</code>
-**In Mac (Word for Mac 2016)**:
-<code>/Users/<username>/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Templates</code>
-Note: You can change the location of user templates files.
