-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.
\ No newline at end of file
+
+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.
