It sounds like you didn't put it in the right spot. (You wanted it to show up
when you did: File|new???)

If yes, then start excel
hit alt-F11 to see the VBE
hit ctrl-G to see the immediate window
type this and hit enter:
?application.TemplatesPath

And you'll see what folder excel expects to be the toplevel folder for
templates.

If it's really a .xlt file, you should be able to doubleclick on it in windows
explorer and see a new workbook based on that template.
