There are going to be times when you want to print out your own articles using the Real Estate Update format. This is why we've created a page called the "Blank Template." You can print this out and use it as a letterhead for your own documents. Here's how:

STEP 1: (You only have to do this step once)
Creating a word processing document that will fit on the "Blank Template."

1. Open the Word Processing Program of your choice (ex. Word).
2. Choose "File" from the menu.
3. Choose "Page Setup" or "Document Setup" from the "File" menu.
4. Change the margins to the following specifications:
   • Top: 2.6"
   • Bottom: 1.4"
   • Left: 1"
   • Right: 1"
5. Save these settings.
6. Save this document as something you will remember so you can use it again in the future. (ex. NewsletterTemplate)
7. Close this new document.
   You have now created a document you can use every time you're wanting to print your own articles with the Real Estate Update look.
