Hi, Steve,
Unfortunately, you can't create a custom template unless you have a paid Workspace business account.  However, you can make a template by creating a new document and typing in what you want. Then give the document a title (for example, "Letter Template"), making sure to put the word Template at the end. Bookmark the page/document.
 
After the bookmark has been set up, edit the the bookmark's URL by doing the following:
 
Delete /edit (make sure to include the slash) at the end of the URL. 
Replace it with /template/preview (again, make sure to include both of the slashes). 
Save the bookmark again. 
Refresh/reload the page and open the bookmark. 
You should now see a screen with a blue button on the right that reads: Use Template. Now, whenever you want to use the document, open the page and click Use Template.
Does this cover what you need?
