I am looking for an Acess template that is adaptable to a small weekly
newspaper. I need to be able to track draws (paper orders) and returns by
location/route/zipcode. Reports should be excel format.

That sounds much more like a customized, built-to-order program than
any sort of templates. Templates tend to be widely applicable, generic
tools (lots of people need an address book, or a check register, or
the like).

That said, it shouldn't be a terribly difficult custom application to
build yourself, or to hire done! You'll need to identify the relevant
Entities (real-life things, persons, or events); these might be
Issues, Draws, Locations, Routes, zipcodes, Returns, I'm not sure what
else. Each of these types of Entity would be modeled by a Table.
You'ld then build forms to enter the data into the tables, and reports
to print it out (or to export the data to Excel).
