Default .dotx doesn't work when opened from Windows Explorer

That suggests something has become corrupted in that particular file.

Do you have a backup copy?

All of my other documents open just fine from explorer, including other
dotx templates. It's only this one particular form field that's giving
me trouble.

They're always "improving" Windows -- and "Office2007 is no longer

the Help menu and it refused even to consult the on-disk version
of Help, which has usually been adequate (there was a way to tell
it not to look on line for help). So they may have disconnected
anything that goes directly from Windows to Word2007.

I can't move up even to Word2013 because the Bibliography Tool is
not compatible with my customized reference "templates" (and also
the icons on the QAT are bigger so I can't put onto it all the
ones I need).
