Alternatively, open a new Google document, and start writing your template.

For more comfort and flexibility, we recommend reducing all the margins down to 0. Select File > Page setup.
1.2. Build the backbone of your template
Follow these guidelines to make sure that the formatting of your template isn't modified when you copy/paste it into Gmail
- Avoid using spaces for formatting; instead use tables.
- If you have a background color, create a main single cell container for the document.
1.3. Design your template
Now that you have the backbone of your template, you can add some colors, images, texts, etc.
For example, here's an overview of our newsletter.
