It is extremely unlikely that converting your WP templates into Word format
will work unless they are exceptionally simple. But the way to do this is to
open a template and then select File, SaveAs and choose Word xxxx format.

Alternatively, open Word and select the WP template: Word will convert it
into Word format and then use SaveAs and choose .dot (template).

However, unless you have a really compelling reason to do so, I would advise
creating new templates from scratch.
