It’s really tough to make documents from scratch when you haven’t got time and are in hurry and Google comes to the rescue with 309 templates. You can use the templates from the new Google Docs directory as a starting point for your timesheets, resumes, invoices, photo albums or party invitations.

What is a template

A template gives you a quick start towards creating a document, spreadsheet, or presentation. Each template has boilerplate content and preset design styles that are meant to be reused. To get started, click use this template, which will create a new document that is a copy of the template. You can then edit the document, replacing boilerplate text and images with your own.

Sadly the option to create a new template is not available, you can save them as regular documents and use File > Save as new copy (Copy spreadsheet) to create duplicates. If you publish a spreadsheet, append &newcopy to the URL to obtain a template link.
