I read that, but figured if it was a cab it would have a cab extension. Go
figure. I did as you describe and the resulting file opened fine in Excel
97. thanks.

Even though it's called a template, on the download page, it says that
it's a
.CAB file (MS Compressed file).

I downloaded it, renamed it to .cab
I rightclicked on the .cab file in windows explorer (win98) and chose
Extract.

I extracted it to a folder and it was called a .xlt.

That template file opened successfully in xl2002.


If you downloaded it ok, try renaming it to .cab and extracting the
template.
