Question How to lock cross-functional diagram template so that it remains the same size with new files?

Hi everyone,

I am using Excel table to automatically create cross-functional diagrams on Visio. Now I have created one template on how I want it to look. My problem is when I save it as a template and try to install and open a new file, the layout of the swimlane changes completely and becomes kind of wide, which makes me spend more time on arranging them the way I want. How can I achieve this? I have tried various protection settings for the swim lane but it didn't work.

Attached some images for reference

How I save it as template:


How it changes after installing the template and opening on a new file (Same data):



Protection settings used for the swim-lane:



Been stuck with it for hours. Would be glad if someone can guide me.

Thanks and best regards!
