In-House Templates, Clip-arts and Office Tools

Every now and then our colleagues have to prepare documents of various kinds. Managers might need to communicate with government agencies in writing. Committee secretaries might need to prepare agendas, minutes and terms of reference from time to time. Colleagues might need to prepare papers, reports or proposals of various types.

To facilitate our colleagues to take advantage of the Microsoft Office software to prepare documents and to assist colleagues to follow the Institute norm, OCIO has prepared a set of Word and PowerPoint templates. Using standard templates to prepare documents can save you a lot of hassles in formatting and give a corporate look and feel.

These templates might not address all the needs. However, if you use the customized styles embedded in the templates in Microsoft Word, it will save you a lot of time to format your document. Simply use the standard styles such as "Normal", "Title", "Heading 1" and "Heading 2" and select the right STYLE SET from the list, all the formatting will be completed automatically according to the selected style set.

The following are the Word and PowerPoint templates we have prepared:

Using the In-House Templates

Microsoft Office is very user-friendly with the RIBBON graphical user interface. We highly recommend colleagues to use the templates in MS Office. The templates are available in all office PCs. You just "New" a document in Microsoft WORD or POWERPOINT and select the desired template as shown in the above table (e.g. Personal -> EdUHK Templates or My Templates -> EdUHK Templates). If users want to use it at their home PC or notebook, they have to install it to the PC or notebook with Office 2016/2013/2010. You could download the templates installer .
