If you save a particular Project layout in Visio to reuse in the future using the Insert System, it is essentially a template.
Is that from The American Heritage dictionary or Webster? I'm not criticizing you or saying you're wrong, just trying help keep things from getting lost in translation. Call it "Visio-specific" technical clarification, if you will. A Visio template file has a file extension of .vst. Importing a visio project file has an extention of .vsd. That's what I was referring to.
