Abstract: A method of facilitating document creation using a template may include: receiving a request to create a first document according to one of a plurality of formats, each format being associated with a template; determining whether the template corresponding to the requested format is stored in a memory; and instantiating, if the template is not already stored in the memory, a template in the memory so that the template is available for future use in creating at least a second document. A related system and machine-readable medium bearing machine-readable instructions may include features similar to elements of the method.
