i am trying to get a template i have created to be the default document every
time excel is opened.

how is it done!

Try the following

Any workbook, template (template: A workbook that you create and use as the
basis for other similar workbooks. You can create templates for workbooks and
worksheets. The default template for workbooks is called Book.xlt. The
default template for worksheets is called Sheet.xlt.), or workspace file
(workspace file: A file that saves display information about open workbooks,
so that you can later resume work with the same window sizes, print areas,
screen magnification, and display settings. A workspace file doesn't contain
the workbooks themselves.) you place in the XLStart folder is automatically
opened when you start Excel.

This XLStart folder was created when you installed Excel, and is located in
one of the following places: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel
