Default Automatically look in template folder when one opens a template

When saving a workbook and choosing Template in the Save As Type box, Excel
will automatically change the Save In folder to the one designated for
templates -- a good feature.

My suggestion: It would be nice if the Excel will automatically change the
Look In folder when one specifies Template in the File of Type box, when
opening a template for editing.

I would not advise going to File -- New... to easily open a template; it
will open it as a new workbook, not as a template. That's a bad habit for
editing templates, because one may inadvertantly overwrite another template
when saving. Better to open the template itself, and press the save button
to save the template at its correct location.
