Forget what "someone" said about a normal template.

Try the usual fix(es) for this problem.

ToolsOptionsGeneral uncheck "Ignore other Applications"
Exit Excel and try again

If this doesn't work try to re-register Excel

Close Excel first and On the Windows Taskbar

1) StartRun "excel.exe /unregserver"(no quotes)OK.
2) StartRun "excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.
See the space between exe and /regserver

You might have to designate a full path to excel.exe.
In that case StartRun "C:\yourpath\excel.exe /regserver"(no quotes)OK.

I am having problems with excel opening documents. When I go to the file that

template may have been changed. I want to be able to double click on a
previously saved document and it open without having to manually go into the
file menu after Excel opens to open it. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks
