I tried naming a template with the ":" character and it let me click the "OK" button but the template didn't show up in the New File list. I checked my app data and the file was named everything before the ":" character.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Name template a forbidden character
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Template does not appear in new file list.

EXPECTED RESULT
Template appears in new file list.

Sorry for the late reply. It's unfortunate that we made the decision to save template filess using the un-escaped name as the filename back in, oh, I guess 2002. So I can confirm the issue, and it does need to be changed. However, given that the template system is such a mess, it's unlikely to happen soon...
