Microsoft Word based contract template, enables you to create templates that are used to generate contracts or documents according to a submitted request.

## Contract templates {#cncore-expl-wdt__section_t2k_drc_syb}

Save time and the manual work of filling out contract documents from scratch for each request by using contract templates to generate them. Word based contract templates can be used by business units to generate a contract
document with predefined content when an user submits a contract request. For example, you can create a contract template for Non-disclosure agreement to generate a Non-disclosure agreement contract document. For more
information, see [Creating a contract template using Microsoft Word add-in for ServiceNow Contracts](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/HYnIAgJXzCq_2cUq_jqxlA "Create contract templates by using Microsoft Word add-in for ServiceNow Contracts to add content controls.").
