I believe that is by design, you need to open excel first before you can
open a template from spreadsheet solutions. You can move them to the general
templates folder and it should work

Hi Folks,

Running XP Pro/Office Pro2002 and New Office Document/Excel Template will
run Excel which then seems to stall and fails to open the chosen Template
which must be done separately ... fiddly and time consuming .. grrr

Any fix for this ??

Thanks in advance ...
