For example, when you select Blank Template in the New window or press Ctrl+N (see here for additional Word 2019 shortcuts), you create a document with the Blank Document template, a relatively simple template with few styles. When you create a document with a template from Office.com or a template from the New window, more styles are available to you because these templates are more sophisticated.
To save time formatting your documents, you are invited to create templates with styles that you know and love.
