>>I have used templates more in Word than in Excel, but I think it is the same idea: You normally don't open a template, to save it with a different name; instead, you directly create a new file,
based on the template. I think that would be with the .Add() method.

I wonder, though, whether the file is saved in a template format instead of a document format - despite the extension. I don't know whether Excel has a separate format for templates, but Word does.
