i could the use it and not do all the work manually

Simon, Not sure if this should be assigned to Platform/Text or not.  Will 
watch this one.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking for? Are you asking for a feature 
where you can create a file, add some default content to it, and then "mark" 
this file as a template? Then the next time you create a file, you could 
specify to create its content based on the template file? Kinda like the 
template idea for projects (in 3.0 proposed plan) but for a file instead.

sorry i took so long
yes, i want to create a file and be able to save it as a template
so that it then appears in the menu when i say 'new'
also, variables could be provided in the file (and i would be asked for their 
values before creating the file)

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
