Template in the Vietnamese sense is a template, in the context of this article, you can understand it as SAMPLE TEXT.
So what is sample text? Well, let me ask myself and answer it myself: It is the type of text that when we open it will automatically create a copy of itself.
The sample text file has the extension (or we call it the extension or format) of *.dotx
When double-clicking on the file *.dotx then a file *.docx will be automatically generated. The newly created file will be named by default Document.

#first. Application of Template
The sample text will contain pre-set formats such as text page format, paragraph format, character format, graphic object, etc.
So, instead of having to manually reset these options, we can completely use Template to replace those steps.
Students often have to work in groups to complete reports or essays. Then, to ensure the consistency of the format and save time when synthesizing, the Template is a perfect choice.
