Default Merge from Access fails with "read only" message

When I try to do a "transfertext" from Access to a Word template, I get a
"document is read only" message from Word.
When I open the template, I do not get the message about establishing a data
source, and it has some test data in it.
I guess at some point I must have responded "Yes" to a "save" message. That
was clearly a mistake! Is there a way to undo it, so that my template is
just a template, with no preconceived notions about what data to include?
TIA.
