Excel template wizard

[Belinda Robinson]

Dear All
Am I right in thinking that although the Excel template wizard works with
Excel 2002, it does not work on a Windows XP machine - or am I doing
something wrong?Thanks
Belinda.

It work fine on Windows XP Home/Pro but was not part of Excel after 2000.
Here is some information that may help: The other response was good - the
installer does not seem to work since I downloaded and tried it several
times. However, getting another copy does the trick - I had a copy of Office
2000 running on another machine so there is a good probablility that any copy
of the wizard will work. Got the file WZTEMPLT.XLA from the "program
files\microsoft office\office\library" file and copied to the corresponding
Office 2003 file. Excel's default location appears to be in the
Microsoft\office\addins directory in the user application documents directory
but I don't like having data I need strewn all over the computer so I can't
conveniently find it for backups. You can probably put it anywhere you like
because you then have to tell Excel where it is. Load an Excel sheet, got to
Tools then Addins where you get a dropdown box and select browse. Select
WZTEMPLT.XLA from wherever you put it and close the dialog. You may get a
message that it is already somewhere else - OK. Once the dialog closes go to
the Data menu and you should find the Template Wizard.
