Three main Rules

• leave the first 3 rows empty - this is where the EWP system places information about the new working paper
  
• do not protect the template - this will generate a run time error
  
• avoid referring to data that is not already included on the worksheet - this will generate referential errors
  

Remarks

The process of generating a Working Paper based on a template copies that single worksheet. It follows therefore that any links to information or data held outside the worksheet container will be lost.

ACBA has developed methodologies for automatically summarising data gathered from multiple working papers held within a project.
