I need to be able to simply double-click a .dot file and have it open a "new"
..doc file instead of opening the actual .dot file as it is doing right now.
That's how it always worked before, but ever since I updated from Office 2002
to Office 2003, I've had this one complaint.

I'm sure it's a setting somewhere, but I don't know where it is. I know to
simply right-click on the template and select "New", or go throught File -
New - Template... but I can't expect my co-workers to know that. Besides,
isn't that the whole point of creating a template file?

I'm having the same issue in Excel 2003.
