It certainly works for me. You may want to try recreating the hyperlink, or
the original template file in case it has become corrupt.

By the way, I suppose this is the KB article that you were referring to?

Word template hyperlink is opened instead of new document

Is there a way to get hyperlinks to open new docs based on templates in
2007?
I found a Microsoft Support article that shows a workaround using
shortcuts.
The article states that it applies to Word 2003, 2002 and 2000, but no
mention of 2007. I have tried the shortcut trick in 2007, and the
template
never opens. It just sits there saying "Downloading," but nothing
happens.
