Templates

Using My Computer (Explorer) and finding a template that I
need to use, if I double click it, it opens as a new
document in Word. If I open Word and then open the
document through the open command, it opens the actual
document or in Explorer if I right click the document and
click open it opens the actual document. Why the
differnece? How can I make it so that double clicking the
document in Explorer opens the actual document in Word.

Please make it clear: are you trying to open a template or a document -
there's a vast difference. However you try open a template - double-clicking
or right-clicking and selecting OPEN in Explorer or in Word using File,
New - Word will open a document based on the template.

In Word, if you use File, Open and navigate to the template, you can then
open it as a template and edit it. But unless you want to edit the template,
you should use File, New and open a document based on the template.
