Default
Double-clicking a template should create a new document based on the template. If Word opens the template instead, it would seem that Open is the default action for *.dotx files. Right-click a *.dotx file in Windows Explorer and see which command on the context menu is in bold; that indicates which is the default action. If you find that Open is the default, as opposed to New, try repairing Office.
