After close review I think the issue was lack of understanding how to use
WinZip. I finally got it to work!
(thank goodness, because I'm way behind on my actual work)

something is not right - the copied original should not change in size at
all. I copy the original in-place and tack 'copy' on to the extension so it
doesn't mess up the CPA. The sizes of edited catx may change slightly, but
not by much, since you can't make a lot of changes to them.
I extract the files to a folder, change the xml then open the catx in
winzip, explorer view. I browse to the folder where the xml belongs and drop
the changed one on the winzip window. This method seems to be the most
efficient, least problematic way.
The template I edited for the screenshot is here - the original needs
renamed so CPA 'sees' it.

I give up. It doesn't matter how small a change I make, when I change
anything the template goes away when I reopen CPA. I've tried the
following:
1) Changing the extension to .zip, editing the Content.xml file and
replacing the old one.
2) Using WinZip to open the .CATX file directly, changing the Content.XML
file.
I don't know if this matters or not, but I noticed that when using WinZips
"add and replace" it doesn't replace the old Content.xml file, I have to
delete it. And, when I open to edit the file directly (using method 2
above)
it adds a new Content.xml file and I have to delete the original.
Also, I noticed that when I go to replace my edited .CATX file with the
original (which I had copied to another location as a back up) the
original
file was twice the size as my edited one.

Try replacing the XML file in the zip rather than making a new zip file
and
append .old to the file name of the original catx. You don't need to use
the
same file name for the old and new ones - but you can only have one with
the
same display name (which is in the catx - I haven't really looked where
to
change it though). I always restart the CPA after editing the template.
Oh, and File, Application settings, show all with uniform settings can
override the template.
Here is a screenshot sample -

I removed all bolding from the file (although it's not noticeable in all
fields) - I resized all size 14 fonts to size 8, resized 2 of the 3
footer
elements, and removed the 30 min scale.

Using CPA sp1
I have followed the instruction below. However, whenever I make any
changes:
1) The original file (which I had changed the extension to .zip and
then
changed back CAT) disappears
2) My new template doesn't show.
What could I be doing wrong?
