Saving a Template
 
After downloading a template and trying to save it I get a message that the
file is "read only". Is there a way to save the template so that it is not
read only?
Thanks,

If you want to use it as a template, you want it to be read only, unless I
missunderstand your question.

BJ,
Thanks very much for your answer. The problem is that I can't save the
template at all. I get the message that the file is read only and am
presented with two choices, yes or no . Clicking yes gives me the read only
message, clicking no means I can't save the file to my computer. All I'm
really trying to do is keep the file on my computer so I can use it.
Thanks again for your help,
Dan

this probably happens when you are opening the file.
accept it as read only then save it in your template folder as a template
with whatever name you want.
