The majority of templates are sent via email immediately, however sometimes it can take up to 24 hours if there are occasional automation issues.  

The emails are either sent from admin@timesavingtemplates.com or 

admin@timesavingtemplates.onmicrosoft.com (a no reply email, so use the one above if you have questions).

Some templates are instant downloads, but the majority are sent via email. 

Yes, most of my templates are designed in MS Excel and are compatible with all versions of Excel.  If you have ‘Excel for Macs’ on your Mac computer that will be compatible.

If you don’t have Excel, I recommend Open Office and I have Open Office versions of most templates,  available upon request.  Open Office is a free program you can download.

Most of the templates also work well with Google Sheets and One Drive’s Excel.  Please note that when purchasing, you agree to the licensing terms which allow the template to be used by the buyer only, and to not share the templates with others who haven’t paid for the product.

Most of my templates come with the cells with formulas protected, to prevent someone from accidentally deleting or writing over a formula, which could cause the template to not work as described.

If you want to be able to make changes to the formulas, you can upgrade to the unprotected version here.  Most of my templates come personalized with your name or company name and that remains protected, even in the unprotected versions.

If you are looking for help with making changes, customizations to the templates or a new template that you’d like created, please see our different options here – https://timesavingtemplates.com/beyond-spreadsheets/

All templates are designed for your own personal use, but if you are a financial or property management adviser, you may purchase the license to use the template for your clients, when it is part of a service you provide.  See here for more details on the license.

I have several videos that go over the basics of getting started with excel here.

The templates are also set up to be fool-proof and easy to use.  Most of the templates follow a similar color-coding that allows you to easily see where to enter your information and where the formulas are.   Most cells with formulas are protected, so that it won’t let you accidentally delete or write over the formulas.  

The templates come with PDF directions on how to use them, and I’m happy to help if you have any questions.
