I was having this same problem. I solved my problem by adding some vba code
to the template to "detach template" (Tools | Templates and addins) and
deleting the path to my template.

Hello,

I created a template (with Word 2003) and saved it on our network..

I just realised that when users open their own documents created based on
my shared template, somehow their documents are linked to my template and
I can't make changes to it (the template).
It looks like they open their documents and at the same time the template
is opened too.
I was under the impression that the whole point of template was the fact
that it was only used to create a copy and that was it.

Does it make any sense? Is there a way around it?


Thank you.

Eric
