SUMMARY
In Microsoft Excel 5.0, when you create a workbook or individual sheet template and save it to the startup directory (XLSTART), the template name is automatically added to the New and the Insert dialog boxes.

MORE INFORMATION
When you choose New from the File menu, all of the workbook and individual sheet templates you have created and saved to your startup directory are listed in the New dialog box. When you select a template and choose the OK button, it is opened as a separate workbook. If you want to insert a workbook or sheet template into an existing workbook, click a sheet tab with the right mouse button and choose Insert from the shortcut menu. When you select a template, the sheet or sheets are inserted to the left of the selected tab.
