To use the flowchart templates, you will need to unzip the file and save the contents to the template folder on your PC.

Excel will choose the default template folder to save it in and you could note where it is and store the flowchart templates there.
If all that sounds too complicated, you can just create a flowchart templates folder anywhere and store them there. To use the templates, just double-click on them from Windows Explorer and it will create a new workbook based on the template.
Note: FlowBreeze stores all templates in /My Documents/My Flowcharts/Templates.
