With templates, you can create spreadsheets populated with information, formatting, and sheets that match your needs. While you can't link from a template, you can link from spreadsheets created from a template.

Create a template

To create a new spreadsheet template:

1

Open the spreadsheet you’d like to use as a base.

2

From the File toolbar, click Save As.

3

Choose Template from the menu.

4

Name your template and click Create.

Once you create a template, you can edit it at any time. These edits only apply to future uses of the template and won't change any existing spreadsheets.

1

From Home, click Create.

2

Select Spreadsheet, then click Spreadsheet from Template from the menu.
