To build a custom checklist template in WPS Writer, initiate the application and launch a blank worksheet. Use an uncluttered format that gives each task its own distinct area to be legibly presented.
Start by typing a informative heading at the upper portion, such as Daily Tasks. Align it centrally for a professional look.
Under the heading, press Enter to add padding for your to-do items.
Afterward, place a empty box icon for each line. To accomplish this, position the insertion point where you want the first checkbox to appear, then access the Insert section on the menu bar. Select Symbol, and from the dropdown menu, explore the available characters. Locate a plain square, which is typically located in the standard symbol typefaces.
Pick the icon and apply the symbol. Alternatively, you can type the Unicode character for a checkbox if you are comfortable with codes, through the character map to type the required sequence.
Following the placement of the first symbol, hit the tab button, or add a space to create a slight margin, then enter the first item, for example Unload boxes.
Use the Enter key to jump to the next entry and follow the same steps to insert additional boxes with tasks.
For visual harmony, confirm all boxes are lined up evenly and that all item labels are formatted with the same font size and style.
When all tasks are added, you can improve the design by adjusting visual elements. Highlight the entire list, then change interline distance to 1.15 or 1.5 for readability.
Another option is adding bullet points or numbering for hierarchical organization, if you have you have child entries.
To enhance its readiness, add a frame around the checklist area by highlighting the entire template, navigating to the Home tab, and clicking Borders and Shading. Select a thin line style and activate on every boundary.
To preserve it as a template, go to File, then Use Save a Copy. In the Save dialog, choose WPS Writer Template from the file type dropdown menu. Give your template a intuitive label, e.g. Custom Task Template, and store it in WPS’s template folder.
This makes sure it will be accessible via New from Template the next time you open WPS Writer.
For future use, simply open WPS Writer, go to New from Template, and find your design. You can then edit the task list as needed for each new assignment while preserving the design.
Always review your template to make sure it’s effective, and expand the options if your needs change. Using this approach, you have designed a practical and reusable tool that reduces effort and ensures consistency in your personal or professional schedule.
