About the files

The software applications necessary to use these templates are Adobe InDesign™ CS2, Microsoft Office 2004®. The templates are designed to be used with Times and Helvetica type families in PostScript® format from Adobe®. PostScript® fonts are the professional standard for the design and printing industry.

If they are not available on your computer, ask your IT department for assistance obtaining them. TrueType fonts are native Microsoft® Windows® fonts and are typically used with most office printers. You will need to download the appropriate font and linked signature file when using any of the InDesign templates.

Note: Please remember that all pieces, even those that use a template, will need branding approval prior to production of your piece.
