As Jay has said, you seem to have some real misconceptions about the
function of templates. The way templates are supposed to be used is to
create a new document (which then needs to be named). For more on the
different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of
templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm.

To use a custom template to open Word, put a shortcut to the template on
your desktop or in the Start menu and use that shortcut. Doing this will
create a new document, based on your custom template. There are a number of
other ways to get new documents from templates. Most require vba but not
all. You may want to take a look at
