Hi Christopher
I am running Windows 7.
The document that I wish to save as a template is in a directory:
    C:\Users\Owner\Documents\Southcroft\Bible Reading Group\

The file is Flyer_A5x2p.sla

Having saved it, I tried to Save as Template and dialog box came up


I had made a directory in the templates folder flyer_A5x2p , selected that and clicked OK

The error message was 

Thanks
