When downloaded from the Web, the template files should be placed in your PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\TEMPLATES\SPREADSHEET SOLUTIONS folder. The Help file (VSTMPLT.HLP) is shared by all the templates and should be placed in the PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE folder.
If you have Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows 95 and Windows NT, you have three additional Spreadsheet Solutions : Expense Statement, Invoice, and Purchase Order templates.
