Third-Party Templates and Files

Included this month are a collection of templates and data files for several third party software packages including Excel, Claris Works, and Filemaker Pro among others.

In most cases, all you'll need to do is double-click  the template of interest and the parent program will load automatically.  If the icon appears as a blank page with a folded corner and you're not sure if you own the required program, chances are good that you do not or you may own an older version than is required since most programs 'claim' their templates and files with a characteristic icon through the finder.  If a template is double-click'd and the parent program does not load you should try loading the program first and then open the template from the file menu.
