i know in some microsoft office programs you can design templates.

Hi Blink182av,
yes, this is for professional use~
I am aware that MS word provides tools for designing template, but i want to see are there other better options to choose from.

What is a template really? A preformatted layout for easy modification? Precisely. You can make a template with just about any text, illustration, and/or paint software. For letterheads, fax, etc. I would go with any vector-based program. I personally reconmend using FreeHand or Illustrator.
