title: Open Excel Template from C# Resource
body: <p>I know similar questons have been asked before but cannot find the exact answer I am looking for. </p>
  
  <p>I have an Excel file that I want to use for reporting puropses and populate with lots of results. So I was planning to have an Excel template file as a resource, open it then populate it but it to be left as an unsaved "Book1" workbook. Everything I am reading seems to talk about saving a copy of the resorce file somewhere on the physical disk, but i didn't really want to do this, as I want to leave it up to the user to decide where to save it.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please help me?</p>
