OK, it looks like this comes down to some miscommunication between the design and implementation sides of things. The way it's set up now, the templates are sets of instructions for a complete set of lines, not for individual lines. When you load a new template, it'll load the instructions for each line (and special teams unit), not just the one you're looking at. So if you want to customize the instructions for one line, load the template you want to start with in the template editor, make the changes you want for that line, and then save it as a new template.

So the way it's described in the manual is wrong; I'm going to fix that right now. We'll also be adding some tooltips to the tactics screen to clarify what Load Template and the "lines" box do. Sorry for the confusion.
