I have several text expressions from a previous work, that have apparently been saved, that I want to omit from the template. . I delete the extra expressions but the next time I OPEN a new document, I still see those old text expressions. Obviously, I am making a mistake somewhere along the line....but I can't figure it out so far.

I want Finale to: OPEN a Default Document using my template...the one with the extra expressions deleted. How do I do it?

Suggestions?
Well, one thing missing from your narrative describing the problem is mention of saving the changed template file after deleting the extra expressions, but based upon my recollection of dealing with a similar problem some years (and versions) back, I'm not sure this would solve your problem. As I recall when I experienced the issue, the way I solved it was to open a new "empty document"/"document without libraries" (different names for the same thing; the name was changed at some point along the line), and load in the text expression libraries one at a time (and there are several, in different font types), examining each library until you find the library containing the unwanted expressions. Delete the expressions from that library, and save the library with the same name (I'll leave it to you to decide whether to keep a back-up copy of the library with the extra expressions, or not).

When you have done this, you should not see the extra expressions when you load the template file.
