Works 2000: Cannot Close the "Save As Template" Dialog Box When You Clear a Default Template

When you are using the Microsoft Works 2000 Spreadsheet, and you clear a default template, and you then click OK in the Save As Template dialog box, the dialog box does not close.

This behavior can occur because you must click the Cancel button after you have cleared a default template to close the Save As Template dialog box.

To clear the default template and close the Save As Template dialog box, click Cancel.
