You can use the following macro:

Sub CreateDocFromTemplate()
Documents.Add "tryout.dot"
End Sub

Of course "tryout.dot" is just an example; you should use an existing
template name. No path is required assuming that the template is saved in
the templates folder of your Word installation.

You can then attach the template to a toolbar button as explained at
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

Corrected version: you can then attach the *macro* to a toolbar button.
