Yes, that is how the program is designed to work, as I noted earlier. If you click Open, then Word opens the template file. If you click New, then Word creates a new document based on the template. This is simply how it works, and it cannot be changed, any more than I could, say, change the brake pedal on my car to control acceleration instead of stopping.

With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Format = wdFormatXMLDocumentMacroEnabled
.Show

I don't know exactly what you or your users are trying to do. I can't see what you're doing. Your users may be complaining that they want Microsoft's interface to work differently than the way it does -- see my brake pedal analogy.
It sounds like you need to open the actual template file, then save a copy of it as a docm file. You may need to write or find code that will open the template, then you can use your sub above to save it as a docm file, then close the template. Perhaps another member of this forum can help you with that, if needed.
