The fundamental problem you're having is that you're calling documents templates. Files ending with a docx extension are not templates - they're documents.

The simplest solution is to open the documents and save them as templates. When you do that, Word will give them a dotx extension (don't simply change it yourself). Once you've done that, double-clicking on the template will cause Word to create a new document from it, obviating the issues you're now having.
