Start with a blank document.
In the house style ribbon, click the New button and choose Empty document (or Blank) to open an empty document.
An empty document is a document that contains almost nothing. Therefore, when opened, only a leading dialog appears without variable data. However, this document does contain the correct standard layout. For example, font type, font size and line spacing.
You can use this document to make models or to start a document. You can then be sure that you include all the corporate identity features of your company.
In LegalWord, select New. The window with the models and templates appears.
① Click on the Language for the language in which the template will be formatted.
② Choose Dutch. The grammar- and spell checker will be set to Dutch. As well as the number notes (1,000.00 vs. 1,000.10).
Click on Default

Tip: do not use the "Normal.Dot" document from Microsoft. This is a demo document from Microsoft with an example corporate identity. Adjustments to this document will be overwritten by Microsoft during updates and upgrades. Therefore always use your company Blank as your starting point. Also because it contains your styles.
