If you created the template for a client and they paid you to do it, they
own the style.
About Word templates, I dunno. I don't use Word.

Subject: Styles for User Guides
|Every time I start a new client, I create a template for the
|documentation, assuming they want their documentation to be unique. Now
|I've got a client who's on a really tight budget, so there's no time to
|create a template.
|
|I was curious about copyrights. If the client copyrights the manual, do
|they own the style as well?
|
|Also, it seems to me I remember Word 6.0 contained a bunch of report
|templates. Word 97 (at least on my machine) contains only memos, faxes
|and resumes. . .pretty tough to stretch across an entire user guide.
|
|If I can't use my own templates, anybody have an idea where I can get
|some Word templates? I've searched the Microsoft web site to no avail.
|
|Thanks.
