-The 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.
