I think the point here is, templates are pre-created workbooks. The benefit
is merely that you don't have to create something from scratch. Other than
that, there is not benefit to a template. Just like templates one would use
in any real world application...

Why should I use templates and not, for instance, a read-only workbook? What
are the specific advantages of templates in terms of ease of use, protection
of the original, preservation of VBA code?

Thanks, Arne
