Unfortunately, you can't create a custom template unless you have a paid Workspace business account. However, there is a workaround. 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 that cover what you need or do you have further questions about this?

I am looking for a way to save a shortcut for formatting text. Like Command+1 sets the line where the cursor actually is to a certain format - like BOLD and TEXT INDENT and FONT SIZE and so on. In Word i can define that.
