Microsoft 365 template design

Microsoft 365 template design & document solutions

We are leaders in Microsoft 365 template design.

Microsoft Word is used by more than 1.2 billion people, yet most operate with only basic knowledge. Even experienced users lose time and battle frustration when relying on Word straight ‘out of the box’, repeating tasks that should be automated or intelligently structured.

With the rise of Adobe‑trained designers trying their hand at creating “templates” to meet project scope, we’re seeing more and more clients left with tools that simply don’t support the realities of everyday work. What looks good on a canvas often falls apart in a live document—disrupting workflows for teams and costing organisations more money than they realise.

Our Microsoft templates are built with purpose: customised paragraph and table styles, repeater fields, building blocks, and your brand elements applied consistently.

Our team has truly seen it all—and solved it all. Led by founder Bek Callipari Kirkwood, who has spent more than 30 years working in Word as a formatter, builder, designer, and IT consultant, we understand the intricacies, quirks, and hidden behaviours of the world’s most widely used document‑creation software.

When you work with kboodl,  you gain a finely tuned logic behind every template, and a deep understanding of user challenges, program behaviour, and practical ways to make M365 work smarter for you.

Our expertise in Microsoft 365 template design covers:

  • Graphic design and brand expansion that delivers dynamic, professional materials across Word and PowerPoint
  • Smart Word templates, document formatting and user training
  • PowerPoint templates and animated presentations
  • Excel template creation and advanced formulas

We encourage teams to invest in our custom productivity toolkits, which deliver single‑click automation for multi‑step processes. 

In August 2026, major tech news publication TheNextWeb featured kboodl in an article examining the corporate productivity crisis.

Our tools, refined over decades, were created in response to real user needs:

SafePaste

Our custom tool to keep your document safe from section breaks, and unwanted styles. Mapped to consolidate old to new styling on the fly.

Live Content

Import multiple Word documents through a live folder tree, ensuring teams always pull in the latest versions of CVs, project sheets, and company information. All content remains editable, and standalone files can be quickly converted to PDF when needed.

CrossRefCheck

Searches the document for broken cross-references and easily allows the user to replace each one through a userform.

Doc Details userform

Users set document details from one input screen, including saving author info defaults, selecting entity or location (easily managed in-house after rollout), importing document info to quickly load into new files, and file save prompt on completion with your naming protocol.

Insert page orientations

Insert, or move content to, a landscape page (and other sizes and dimensions) – preventing hours of stress with a single click, auto-adjusting headers, footers and graphics.

Insert branded tables

Saving multiple steps to ensure your tables are ready to work in with correct paragraph styles, captions and fit to page alignment.

Quick table editing

Format existing tables in your document with one click across entire selections, fixing captions, table design, paragraph styles and alignment.

Dynamic covers, sections and building blocks

Insert appendices sections with custom covers, page numbering and captions set up to your requirements.

Undeniable savings using our templates

Clients tell us every day how much our work transforms their productivity.

We understand the challenges you face in Microsoft Office—and we already know the solutions you need.

Show your boss how much money our templates can save and you’ll be the hero of the year! Using our recommendations, we conservatively estimate each user saves at least 138 hours per year—around $13,800 across typical pay grades. Multiply that by your team size and the annual savings become impossible to ignore.

We regularly see highly paid consultants spending days formatting documents instead of writing content—some charging over $300 an hour while losing time to basic tasks. This hidden drain on productivity is one of the most overlooked costs inside modern organisations.

And in a landscape crowded with new AI apps—each demanding attention, complicating decisions, and stretching budgets—you don’t need another platform.

You need tools that make the software you already use work smarter — and your existing investment in Microsoft already gives you everything you need:

  • Powerful online storage and asset collaboration through SharePoint;
  • Intelligent content creation with Copilot; and
  • The world’s most capable document‑building software — Word.
