Writing documents can be a daunting task, especially if you’re not sure where to start. Fortunately, there are many free templates available online that can help you get started. Here are some tips on how to find the right template to write a document for free.

Search Online

The first step in finding the right template is to search online. There are many websites that offer free document templates, so it’s important to take some time to browse through them and find one that best suits your needs. When searching, make sure to look for templates that are easy to use and have all the features you need.

Check Out Professional Templates

If you’re looking for a more professional-looking template, then it’s worth checking out some of the paid options available online. Professional templates often come with more features and customization options than free ones, so they can be worth the investment if you need something more polished and professional-looking.

Look for User Reviews

Finally, it’s always a good idea to read user reviews before downloading any template. This will help you get an idea of how well the template works and if there are any issues or problems with it. Reading user reviews can also give you an insight into how easy or difficult it is to use the template, which can be helpful when trying to decide which one is right for you.

Finding the right template to write a document for free doesn’t have to be difficult. By following these tips, you should be able to find one that meets your needs and helps you create a professional-looking document quickly and easily.

Why Use Document! X?

Developing accurate documentation, particularly for complex components or database schemas, has traditionally been a time consuming, costly and skills intensive task. Documentation during development can be seen as a moving target and at the end of a project developers are often immediately re-assigned to new development tasks, which can leave most projects poorly documented.

With Document! X, documentation can be automatically produced throughout design and development without requiring investment of developer resources, providing development teams with an accurate and up to date reference and allowing new developers to jump the learning curve of new components and schemas. Document! X makes producing documentation a natural and productive activity for developers and technical writers alike.

• Fast, accurate, professional quality documentation;
• Market leading authoring tools for creating supplementary content;
• Automatically uses source content where available (.NET xml source comments, Web Service Definition descriptions, SQL Server Extended Properties, SQL/T-SQL/PL-SQL source comments, XSD Annotations, Javascript JsDoc or XML format source comments, Java Javadoc format source comments, COM HelpStrings );
• Customizable HTML based template driven output can be adapted to your requirements and ships with standard phrases pre-translated to 9 different languages;
• Generate documentation to HTML Help 1.x (CHM), Help 2.x, Microsoft Help Viewer (Visual Studio Help Format) or web ready pure HTML Browser Help including a full Table of Contents, Index and Full Text Search.

Content Authoring Options

You can choose to author content in your Source Code (using .NET xml source comments, Web Service Definition descriptions, SQL Server Extended Properties, SQL/T-SQL/PL-SQL source comments, XSD Annotations, Javascript JsDoc or XML format source comments, Java Javadoc format source comments, COM HelpStrings ) and/or using the rich authoring environment of the Content File editor.

This flexibility allows you to include basic documentation in the source code and use the rich Document! X Content File editor to author extended content or make post-development edits.

Content File Editor (.NET Documentation)

In combination with, or as an alternative to authoring content in source comments (.NET documentation illustrated here), create and maintain documentation content using the Document! X Content File Editor.

Content File Editor (Database Documentation)

In combination with, or as an alternative to authoring content in source comments (Database documentation illustrated here), create and maintain documentation content using the Document! X Content File Editor.

Source comments always visible

The Document! X Content File editor shows you the source comments ( .NET Xml format source comments, COM HelpStrings, XSD Annotations, Web Service Descriptions, SQL/T-SQL/PL-SQL Source Comments, Javadoc comments, JsDoc comments) whilst you are editing (.NET is shown here), so that you can instantly see where the source documentation might require additional detail or replacement. Document! X will automatically populate the description of members inherited from elsewhere in your assembly or the .NET Framework to further reduce the amount of documentation authoring effort.

Object Model Digrams

The generated documentation for classes and structures in .NET, Java, COM and Javascript documentation will automatically include an Object Relationship Diagram. These diagrams are invaluable in helping users of your documentation make sense of the object model contained in your components.

Visual Studio F1 Help Integration

Document! X can output to a variety of formats, including browser help for publishing to a website, CHM and Microsoft Help Viewer. Microsoft Help Viewer is the help technology used by Visual Studio. Integrating documentation with Microsoft Help Viewer ensures that help for the assemblies you document is only ever an F1 key press away.

Visual Studio Integration

Document! X integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio® 2010-2022. Documentation Projects can be created, opened and built directly from your Visual Studio solution. A Visual Comment Editor is included for creating and maintaining your source code comments in Visual Basic .NET, C#, C++/CLI and F# source code.

Author and maintain your Visual Basic .NET, C#, C++/CLI or F# source code comments directly within a preview of how the generated documentation will look.

Visual Studio Comment Editor

The Document! X Visual Studio Visual Comment Editor provides a unique fully Visual Editor for your VB.NET, C# or C++/CLI source code comments, integrated directly with the Visual Studio IDE. The Visual Comment Editor allows you to create and edit Xml comments in a WYSIWYG preview of the generated documentation.

Standard Xml Source Comments

Even though you can author your content in a fully WYSIWYG editor, comments created or edited with the Visual Comment Editor are written back to your source code in standard XML source comment format.

Your .NET Language of Choice

Document! X can document assemblies created with any Visual Studio language. The Visual Comment Editor supports C#, Visual Basic, C++/CLI and F# projects.

Build from Visual Studio

Build your documentation projects directly from Visual Studio. Integrate Document! X with your team build using the provided command line build .exe, msbuild task or Workflow activity.

Why use document x.

Developing accurate documentation, particularly for complex components or database schemas, has traditionally been a time consuming, costly and skills intensive task. Documentation during development can be seen as a moving target and at the end of a project developers are often immediately re-assigned to new development tasks, which can leave most projects poorly documented.

With Document! X, documentation can be automatically produced throughout design and development without requiring investment of developer resources, providing development teams with an accurate and up to date reference and allowing new developers to jump the learning curve of new components and schemas. Document! X makes producing documentation a natural and productive activity for developers and technical writers alike.

Unmatched Content Authoring Environment

The revolutionary authoring tools included in Document! X allow you to author additional content directly within a preview of the automatically generated page - seamlessly combining the benefits of automated documentation with fully featured authoring tools.

The same 'Full Page Edit' functionality is available within the Visual Studio (2010, 2012 and 2013) environments - allowing you to author and maintain your Visual Basic .NET, C# or C++/CLI source code comments directly within a preview of how the generated documentation will look.

In addition to making use of Visual Basic .NET, C#, C++/CLI, Java and ASP.NET Ajax Javascript source code comments, Document! X can use comments from Transact-SQL code, SQL Server extended attributes, Type Library HelpStrings, Xml Schema (Xsd) annotations, Web Service descriptions and Javascript Jsdoc or Xml source comments.

Visual Studio Integration

Document! X integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio. Documentation Projects can be created, opened and built directly from your Visual Studio solution.

Visual Comment editors are included for creating and maintaining your source code comments in Visual Basic .NET, C# and C++/CLI source code. Content can be authored both in source code comments and in Content Files using the Document! X Content Tools. This approach makes it easy to make post-development edits and author additional content outside of the source code.

Fully Customizable

The template based configuration that Document! X is based on makes it easy to:

• Create new content types (e.g. change history, fixed bugs);
• Adapt existing templates to match your existing corporate style and color scheme;
• Customize Table of Contents definitions according to your requirements;
• Fine tune the standard phrases and terminology used by Document! X to match your standards. Document! X ships with in-built support for English, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Russian language output.
