Note to the Author
[This document is a template of a Project Management Plan document for a project. The
template includes instructions to the author, boilerplate text, and fields that should be replaced
with the values specific to the project.
 Blue italicized text enclosed in square brackets ([text]) provides instructions to the
document author, or describes the intent, assumptions and context for content included in
this document.
 Blue italicized text enclosed in angle brackets (<text>) indicates a field that should be
replaced with information specific to a particular project.
 Text and tables in black are provided as boilerplate examples of wording and formats
that may be used or modified as appropriate to a specific project. These are offered only
as suggestions to assist in developing project documents; they are not mandatory
formats.
When using this template for your project document, it is recommended that you follow these
steps:
1. Replace all text enclosed in angle brackets (e.g.,, <Project Name>) with the correct field
values. These angle brackets appear in both the body of the document and in headers and
footers. To customise fields in Microsoft Word (which display a gray background when
selected):
a. Select File>Properties>Summary and fill in the Title field with the Document
Name and the Subject field with the Project Name.
b. Select File>Properties>Custom and fill in the Last Modified, Status, and Version
fields with the appropriate information for this document.
c. After you click OK to close the dialog box, update the fields throughout the
document with these values by selecting Edit>Select All (or Ctrl-A) and pressing
F9. Or you can update an individual field by clicking on it and pressing F9. This
must be done separately for Headers and Footers.
2. Modify boilerplate text as appropriate to the specific project.
3. To add any new sections to the document, ensure that the appropriate header and body
text styles are maintained. Styles used for the Section Headings are Heading 1, Heading
2 and Heading 3. Style used for boilerplate text is Body Text.
4. To update the Table of Contents, right-click and select “Update field” and choose the
option- “Update entire table”
5. Before submission of the first draft of this document, delete this “Notes to the Author”
page and all instructions to the author, which appear throughout the document as blue
italicized text enclosed in square brackets.]
