To create a Template...............

Open a new workbook........customize as you wish.

FileSave AsFile TypeExcel Template(*.xlt)

Type a name for it......do not add the .xlt extension.......Excel will do that.

Close the workbook.

FileNew...TemplatesOn My Computer. Double-click on the Template you just
saved.

A workbook based on the Template will open.

The Template itself does not open.

Do your work on the new workbook and save as regular workbook.

The Template will still be in your Templates folder ready for next time.

No changes have been made to the Template.

If I save a template how do I use it without losing it.
If I use it to fill in blanks and need to save it. How do I know the
template will stay in its file and not change?
