I'm using templates in conjunction with layouts quite often. When modifying a layout (or creating new from scratch) I would like one of the WINDOWS in this layout to contain the indicators available in a previously saved template, its much easier to loadup that template with all those predefined indicators than to create the whole thing again. To do that right click on the new WINDOW and select Templates-->Load then select the previously created template and save your new layout. A layout can contain many windows a template is a set of predefined indicators and chart pages. You are ALWAYS using a layout and a template, it could be the defaults but whenever you are viewing a chart window you are in effect using both.

So there really is no situation where you should choose templates
over layouts even if all you want to do is save sheet setup? Layouts
does this and more and they are more easily accessed.
