Is it important to save it under a new name first and then modify it?

Graham is spot on. Save as a template and then use that template for new documents. A template is not "opened" in normal use; it becomes the format for a new document.
If you've done this thousands of time and this is the first time it has caused problems you have been extremely lucky.
Templates in Microsoft Word
The kind of template we are discussing here is a "document template."
