Part I: Getting Started with Excel
FIGURE 6.4
The New page in Backstage view allows you to search for templates.
Microsoft Office Online has a variety of templates. Some are better than others, so if you download a few duds, don’t
give up. Even though a template may not be perfect, you may be able to modify it to meet your needs. Modifying an
existing template is often easier than creating a workbook from scratch.
Creating a workbook from a template
To create a workbook based on a template, just locate a template that looks like it might do
the job and click the thumbnail. Excel displays a box with a larger image, the source for the
template, and some additional information. If it still looks good, click the Create button.
Otherwise, click one of the arrows to view details for the next (or previous) template in the
list.
