Word Templates

Can word templates be lock down or controlled? What we are looking for is
locking down the template and let users change content of the templates.
Also, if the template changes, then what happens to the old content?

Word templates can be placed in read-only folders on a network. This folder
would be designated as the workgroup templates folder under Tools > Options
File Locations.
Click to expand...
New documents are then created based on these templates using File > New.

The new documents are saved, as documents, and do not change the contents of
the original templates. Additional templates can be added by someone who has
write access to the folder.

For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog,
and locations of templates folders see
