SUMMARY
If you have a template set as the default template for a particular Works for Windows Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Database, or Communications module, it will automatically load the same file each time you create a new file for that module.



MORE INFORMATION
There are two ways to disable the default template in Works 3.0. Try one of the following workarounds.

Workaround 1

 * 1) From the File menu, choose Template.
 * 2) From the Use A Template box, select a template for the appropriate module.
 * 3) Select the Use This Template For All New  Documents box, where  is the name of the module.
 * 4) Choose OK to open the Template.
 * 5) From the File menu, choose Template.
 * 6) Clear the Use This Template For All New  Documents box that you selected in step 3.

Workaround 2
 Close Works if it is running. Open the MSWORKS3.INI file (in the Windows directory) in a text editor such as Notepad.  In the [Template Section] of the file, delete anything after the equal sign (=) of the entry listed below, for the module you want to disable:      Word Processor : DefaultWP= Spreadsheet   : DefaultSS= Database      : DefaultDB= Communications : DefaultCM=  Save the file and exit the text editor.</ol>

The template no longer automatically attaches to your new files.
