Excel Template Issue

We are running a network of around 30 machines. Each client maps to the
fileserver as a drive letter, ie F, and the .xlt is stored in a directory
location on the fileserver, e.g. F:\documents\excel\xxxx.xlt

Around 5 clients running XPP SP2 (service packed via WUS) and running Office
2000 open the .xlt fine, as it opens as a preview as a .xls file, but 1
client when she opens the .xlt is opens the file as a .xlt (in design mode -
so to speak).

Why is this?

maybe put the xlt in the Excel Template folder
