How to make a .XLTM template file default to save as .XLSM type?

NZCoyote

I have a Excel 2007 macro-enabled template (.XLTM) which I use regularly.
Whenever I open this template then use save or save as to create a new file
the default workbook type of .XLSX is selected instead of .XLSM.

How can I change the default behaviour for this template to automatically
select a .XLSM format in the "Save As" dialog wihtout changing it for every
document as happens by using the 'Excel Options>>Save>>Save Files in this
Format' drop down box.

Cheers

Perhaps some code in ThisWorkbook module of the Template;

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
Dim strSaveAs As String
If SaveAsUI = True And Me.FileFormat = xlTemplate Then
Cancel = True
Application.EnableEvents = False
'Not sure of FileFilter
strSaveAs = Application.GetSaveAsFilename _
(FileFilter:="Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook(*.xlsm) *.xlsm")
Me.SaveAs strSaveAs
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
