What I mean by version is that when you open a template it opens as what I would call a ghost copy. When you are using a template document it, opens as 'Document1' and that file has no path/directory associated with it, but when opened in this manner multiple users can access the file simultaneously without read-write errors. In order for that file to receive an identity, the user would have to save it somewhere first.
Also I'm running an XP with Office 2010. The file is saved as a .dotm type. Word 2010 has a new set of controls call Content Control which are distinct from that of their now legacy controls.
I think I have also figured out the issue as well. I have to check with my IT department to determine whether or not I have registry errors with my latest upgrade to 2010 which may be causing errors in general.
