Want to jazz up your Word reports? Try the templates from our new partner, BoxedArt.

The designs feature matching reports and cover sheets. I'm so fond of the Abstract design that I want to write a report right now just so that I can use it.

I also like the Floral design, but I'm not sure about the color. (I love pink, but do I want this much pink on my report?)

This is the second beauty of templates: You can change them, customize them. For example, I'm going to use the Recolor command on the Picture Tools Format tab to make this design a watery blue.

I click this:

and I get this:

(The first beauty of templates is that a lot of your work is done before you start.)
