Template
a model or pattern. The word is used to describe several functions with regard to software applications and graphical layout. For example, in a word processing application, a template might refer to a style sheet, in that the layout for a document is set before beginning work. Entering information into pre-set fields is all that is necessary to create the framework for the document. The same could apply to entering information into a spreadsheet. In graphic or Website design, a template might be used to maintain a uniform theme through-out the creation.
