- The template row\index{template row} is a way to use the same formula
- in every row of a sheet. The actual row number is replaced by a
- ``\#''. For example, ``A\#*b\#'' would be ``A5*b5'' in row 5.
+ The template row allows you to quickly fill in columns of your spreadsheet.
+ If a cell in the template row has a value or formula, every cell in
+ that column of the main body of the spreadsheet will be given the same value
+ or formula.
+ If a cell in the spreadsheet already has a value, that value will be preserved.
+ Using the ``#'' notation to specify rows is highly suggested.  See
+ \textbf{Referencing Spreadsheet Cells} (\ref{Spreadsheet_Referencing_Cells})
+ for more information.
