Integrate your own Word template
Updated over a week ago

In FlowShare, you can use your own Word template by adding it as a DOTX file. This template will then be used for your Word exports.

Prepare a DOCX template

You simply create a new Word document from scratch and add a cover page or background to your pages. You can also add further information (page number, date) or a logo in the header and/or footer. You can also add additional pages after your cover page if you like. Once you have finished your design, save your template as a DOTX file.

Integrate your Word template

  1. Click on the Export button in FlowShare

  2. Select the DOCX format.

  3. Click on the ” Add your own template” button to add your template.

  4. Now browse and select your template. Only files with .dotx format are allowed. Click on the “Open” button.

  5. You have imported your DOCX template into FlowShare!

Your template is now available for selection in the thumbnail view. When you export with this template, your recorded steps will automatically be appended to your pages from the template.

How will it look like?

The current export layout is simple and consistent:

  • Each page contains one image.

  • The text description is always positioned below the image.

  • Fonts, colors and logos are not inherited from the FlowShare file.

  • The layout is fixed by FlowShare, meaning it cannot be adjusted.

  • The steps are automatically appended to the pages in your template.

Unlike the PowerPoint template, you don’t need to define the layout of the title, image, and text. FlowShare takes care of everything automatically during the export, but it also means you cannot make manual adjustments.

Note: To export to custom DOCX templates, Microsoft Word must be installed on your computer!
