Frequently Asked Questions

Do these templates work in Google Docs & Sheets?

Yes. Upload the file to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs or Google Sheets. Some advanced Word/Excel features may render slightly differently - check formatting before sharing.

How do I change colors and fonts?

In Word, use Design → Colors/Fonts or modify Styles. In Excel, update cell styles and theme colors; charts will adapt automatically.

Will formulas in Excel break if I edit rows?

Typically no. Templates use relative references and structured ranges, but always verify totals after inserting or deleting rows.

How do I print without cut-offs?

Set the correct paper size and margins. In Word, adjust Layout; in Excel, use Page Layout → Print Area and Fit to one page if needed.

Can I use the templates commercially?

Please review our Terms & License page for permitted commercial use or contact us for clarification.
