Word Templates Crashing Word 2003

[Brendan Ambrose]

Everytime I save a template, in Word 2003, as a Word document, Word crashes. I have followed the advice given on this and other sites Re: corrupted documents but this does not seem to work.

You cannot save a template as a document, only as a new template. You can
create documents based on templates.

This is not the proper way to use a template. You don't want to be saving a
template as a document. Instead, create a new document, based on the
template and save that. This might seem to be a difference in terms, only,
but it is not. While Word 2003 will let you try to us Save As with an open
template, you don't want to do it.

If your template is saved in a templates folder, it will show up in the File
New dialog box when you click on general templates in the New File Task
Pane. Otherwise, double-clicking on the template icon from Windows should
create a new document.

folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm.
