Thanks to both Steve and Graham.
I will use the layout name in first tab trick from now on.
However, I believe that the way this works: always saving to Default,
even when already manually saved; and requiring the user to manually
save to the named layout, etc. is inconvenient at best, and should be
fixed.

In my experience, Save on Exit always saves whatever layout you have
open as
the default. So now I don't use default layout anymore, I am in the
habit of
always saving my open layout manually before opening another or exiting
AB,
and always opening the layout I want when I start AB. I always include
the
layout name in the 1st tab when I create a new one so I can identify
which I
have open, but be careful you don't end up confusing it with the
default
layout which will be the same as the last layout you worked on. You can
turn
off Save on Exit, but I leave it on as a backup in case I screw up. I
believe a template is one window with all its sheets, while a layout
can
include multiple windows/templates.
