When using a Template, a workbook is opened based on that Template.

The Template is never opened directly, so users cannot edit it, just edit
the opened workbook and save as whatever name suits them.

Template remains untouched ready for next use..

*.xlsx is just a regular workbook. If users edit and save, you have lost
the original.

How does Book.xltx differ from Book.xlsx? I have never been clear on when
to use a template file.
