Custom Built
Our team of Word design experts will deliver your document templates with levels of automation that can include custom toolbars and ribbons that will improve your staff productivity, bringing cost savings, while improving consistency and overall quality of your business documentation.
Discuss your Word ribbonDocument lifecycle
Our custom components streamline the entire document lifecycle, from drafting and editing through to approval and publishing. Automated features such as pre-populated templates, standardised headers and footers, and context-sensitive toolbars mean your staff can create polished, professional documents.
Inside the ribbon
Every button on a custom tab is there for a reason. Here is what each group does for the people using your templates every day.
Apply bullets and numbered lists from your approved list styles, and pick a list back up after a break in the text.
Separate list controls for table cells, including the option to continue numbering from one table to the next.
Clear formatting, repair multilevel lists, reset table numbering and tidy up styles in a single click.
The approved style gallery, with numbered headings built in, so staff choose from your styles rather than inventing their own.
Inside the ribbon
Our Build tab holds the specialised functions used to create or modify a template, giving the people who maintain your templates one dedicated place to work.
Update all fields refreshes cross-references, page numbers, the contents list and every other field in one click.
Add or remove landscape A4 pages, insert A3 pages and change A3 back to A4 without upsetting headers, margins or numbering.
Cover pages, preset content, image placeholders and a table of contents, ready-formatted and dropped in from one place.
Charts in your brand colours and fonts, plus text in columns, set up without fiddly manual formatting.
Two approaches
Word’s built-in Restricted Editing protects a document by switching controls off. A custom tab protects your brand by keeping the right controls on and steering them through your approved styles.

Staff at a legal firm were editing documents to suit their own preferences rather than following the firm's style guide. We built a full document suite around the guide, built the firm's legal numbering lists into the templates, and added our custom Formatting tab for one-click access to them while locking down formatting controls.

After a major brand refresh, a state government department needed its Office environment modernised. We redesigned 17 enterprise Word templates, built a custom Formatting Control Tab that enforces approved styles, tables and numbering, and added controlled copy-and-paste with a one-click Styles Clean Up tool. The same project delivered a PowerPoint framework with 10 precinct-specific themes.

A corporate group needed consistent, professional templates across four related entities without four separate builds. We built a shared Global Common template, a custom Master Template for each entity on top of it, and a custom Formatting tab with a copy/paste macro that strips foreign formatting and applies approved styling automatically.

We help you go beyond standard Word formatting with advanced layout and styling tools that make your documents professional, consistent, and visually engaging.
Branded cover pages with the title, date and document details filled in for you, so every document opens the same professional way.
Pre-built pages designed around photos, diagrams and screenshots, with consistent sizing, captions and alignment.
On-brand section dividers inserted in one click and kept in step with your heading styles.
Appendix pages with their own headings and numbering that appear correctly in the contents list.
A formatted contents page added in a click, built from your headings and styled to match your brand.
Approved legal wording dropped into place with the right layout and numbering, so nobody has to retype or reword it.
Choose the blocks a document needs, such as summaries, disclaimers or sign-off pages, and insert them ready-formatted.
Chart styles set to your brand colours and fonts, so figures look consistent from one report to the next.
Bespoke designs, such as multi-column or sidebar pages, built into the template instead of faked with spaces and tabs.
Automation
Save time and reduce errors with intelligent automation features and content management tools that streamline complex tasks.
Document titles, reference numbers, dates and confidentiality labels flow into headers and footers automatically.
Add a landscape page for a wide table or chart without upsetting page numbers, headers or margins, then switch back just as easily.
Drop in an A3 page for large drawings or schedules and return to A4 without disturbing the rest of the document.
Switch part of a page to columns and back again, with section breaks and spacing handled for you.
One click removes stray direct formatting and repairs broken lists, returning content to your approved styles.
Strip out the guidance text and placeholders that come with a template before a document is finalised.
Turn numbering off for headings that should not carry it, such as a preface, without breaking the numbering around it.
Insert lists of tables and keep their numbering in sequence, resetting it cleanly wherever a new section begins.
Insert an approved table style, apply a sub header row and add its caption in a single step.
Apply the correct numbered paragraph level straight from the ribbon, ideal for legal, policy and contract documents.
Extra brand colours added to the theme so every palette, chart and shape draws from the approved set.
Saved find and replace routines for the corrections your team makes again and again, run in one click.
Look up approved content, such as clauses, client details or product information, from a spreadsheet or database and insert it into the document.

Automating Word tasks allows for users of all skill levels to create and complete documents in a user-friendly manner that aligns with business needs and processes. By simplifying complex tasks and ensuring a consistent approach is taken, workflows are streamlined and documents are created quicker and easier, allowing people to spend time on higher value activities.
A custom ribbon in Microsoft Word is an additional tab in the toolbar with personalised functions and commands designed to suit your workflow and business requirements. This customisation allows users to have access to standard and custom commands and features that are required and used most frequently.
Custom functions allow development of bespoke functions in Microsoft Word that specifically align with what a user is doing within a particular document or template. This ensures that features, automation and tasks that a user needs to complete when creating/completing a document is available and present for the user at the right time.
