How to access DWER corporate templates

Posted 13 Apr 2026 v1.0

Note: Please refrain from saving templates on your PC for future use. Instead load the templates directly from Word, Excel or PowerPoint. By doing so, you ensure you are always working with the most up-to-date version.

DWER templates can be accessed from two locations.

Access via Microsoft Office applications (e.g. Word, Excel, PowerPoint)

To access templates via MS Office applications:

Open the application Navigate to the 'File' menu Select 'New'

Click on the 'Department of Water and Environmental Regulation” tab Click on the relevant folder to see a preview of the available templates Click on the template to open

Please note that each application displays only the templates available in that application. E.g. Word will present Word templates, Excel will display Excel templates, and PowerPoint will display PowerPoint templates.
