Are there any decent P6 import templates out there?

Are there any decent P6 import templates out there?  I have been doing it on and off for 35 years and it is always dicey.  I generally just export it, change it and import it back in.  The formatting gets goofy and does not work that great.  I think with P3 you had to add a letter in a column to get it right but I don't think that is the current situation.  Do you have to leave the column widths as is?  John

I always do an Export first, creating my own template in Excel

Sometimes, if you make an Export with three 'sheets', Activities, Resources and Relationships, it is best to import each sheet separately. Not known why
