+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 recommended.  See 
+Referencing Spreadsheet Cells (\ref{Spreadsheet_Referencing_Cells}) 
+for more information.
