Nope, not really. However your requirements are not so much a template as
Boilerplate text, and that's a whole different kettle of fish. Get yourself
a good meta search engine, like WebFerret, and go sick on search phrases
like "User Guide" "User Manual' etc.
However, FWIW, I usually find that customer deliverables are too easy to
style up - you have software on your computer that comes with...
Or should you be running pirated software through and through, or all your
software has only edocs (possible these days), then go to your local
computer shop and ask to open a package of, say Framemaker or some REALLY
expensive product that they would LOVE to sell you and so is worth cracking
the seal on to have a look :-)

Has anyone located a good Web resource for sample MS Word templates for
software product installation or user guides? I primarily use Framemaker for
these deliverables, but need to look at Word for shorter manuals. I have
only been able to locate Word templates for letters, memos, resumes, etc. on
the Web thus far. Thanks for any information.
