SYMPTOMS

When you open a workbook that you previously saved in Microsoft Excel 97, the default blank workbook is not automatically closed.

This problem occurs if you create a custom workbook template (Book.xlt) and replace the default workbook template in Microsoft Excel 97.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

If this problem occurs you must manually close the blank workbook.

For more information about creating templates, click the index tab in Microsoft Excel 97 Help, type the following text:

   templates, customizing workbook defaults

and then double-click the selected text to go to the "Customize the defaults for a workbook or workshet by using a template" topic.
