Missing "Export Template" option in Visual Studio 2005

Question

Hi,

I am trying to learn & create Visual Studio templates and as per this MSDN article,

The simplest type of template to create is an item template. To do so, simply open a project that includes the file you want to use as a template and then chooses File | Export Template to run the Export Template Wizard

Now, the problem is that the "Export Template" option is missing in my Visual Studio 2005. The version I'm using is VS 2005 team suite and the project template I opened to export is "ASP.NET Web Application".

Is there any patch to be installed or any setting to be done to get the Export Template option? Or am I not following the right way to create Templates?

Links/leads to good articles/resources on the Internet on VS Templates also would help.

Thanks in advance.
