How do you create templates for SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services reports?

Question

I want to create templates for base new reports on to have common designs. How do you do it?

Answer 1

Further more, I would suggest wrapping up your template perhaps with externally linked images into an .msi for easier distribution. It is a lot easier to ask people in a department to run an installer than it is to hope they find the right path to put the reporting template in. Make sure you use the proper program files variables etc to account for "Program Files" vs "Program Files(x86)" and other variations users sometimes do with their environment variable settings.
