    Template Creation

    I have the responsibility of generating a daily report via a text file that
    is updated nightly. I want to have a template that would remain formatted
    with column headings and other page formatting. Is there a way to create a
    template whereas data can be added daily without always recreating the
    spreadsheet?

    Crazy question? I know.

    There is a way that I think will work.

    You must not have row or column numbers exceeding Excel maximum (65536 and 256)

    Open a new workbook.
    You will have to use the menu :
    Data...
    Import Text File
    Selectionne the path of the file you want to use as data
    Then selectionne where you want your data to go
    May be leave a few lines if you intend to put a title or something.
    Then the data will be there
    Then format as you please
    Then save as a template: extension xlt ie: data.xlt.
    Close the file
    Then if you open Excel and do new, it should be the name data under the tab general
    By clicking you will have a new workbook with data and formating.

    You may want to practise a little at importing data to get familiar with the feature
