Custom .dotx Templates

A .dotx file is a Microsoft Word Template. You design it in Word with your school's branding — EduQuest Pro fills in the question content when exporting.

What your .dotx template controls:

• check_circleSchool logo and letterhead
• check_circleHeader and footer text (school name, address, year)
• check_circleFont family and size for headings and body text
• check_circlePage margins and layout
• check_circleColor scheme (if any) via Word styles

Creating a .dotx File

1. 1

   Open Microsoft Word

   Start with a blank document. Google Docs exports may not preserve all formatting — use Word for best results.

2. 2

   Design your header

   Go to Insert → Header. Add your school logo (Insert → Pictures), school name, address, and any other details. Apply formatting as desired.

3. 3

   Design your footer

   Go to Insert → Footer. Add page numbers, exam date placeholder, or other standard footer content.

4. 4

   Set body styles

   Go to Home → Styles. Customize Heading 1, Heading 2, and Normal styles to set the fonts and sizes that questions and options should use.

5. 5

   Set page margins

   Go to Layout → Margins. Set your preferred margins (standard is 1 inch all sides, exam papers often use 0.75 inches).

6. 6

   Save as .dotx

   Go to File → Save As → Word Template (*.dotx). Save the file to your computer.
