Opening a Template

You may not realize it, but every document you create is based on a template. When you start a new document without specifying a template, Word creates a new document based on the default template file. When you specify a particular template in the Start or New screen (New!), whether it’s one supplied by Word or one you created yourself, Word starts a new document that contains the text, graphics, and formatting contained in that template. The template itself does not change when you enter data in the new document, because you are working on a new file, not with the template file.
