SYMPTOMSIn Microsoft Excel, when you use the Details button in the New dialog box to display additional information about the available files, a template file on the Excel tab may be displayed with a file size of 0K instead of the expected file size. Additionally, the Preview box for the template file may contain the text "Preview not available" instead of the contents of the template file. CAUSE
This behavior occurs if you save a Microsoft Excel template file to the
XLSTART folder. The Microsoft Excel XLSTART folder is available for
compatibility with Microsoft Excel version 5.0. In Microsoft Excel version
7.0, you can still create a new workbook from a template stored in this
folder. However, when you view the template file in the New dialog box, and
you display the file details, the file size is displayed as 0K, and the
Preview box does not contain a preview of the file. RESOLUTIONTo display the correct file size and preview of a template file in the New dialog box, save the file to the default template folder, the Microsoft Office TEMPLATE folder or the EXCEL folder in the TEMPLATE folder, instead of the XLSTART folder.
