Hello. I have not used custom templates for many years; however, I remember that it used to be that once you created a template and saved it *as a template* (now .dotx) when you would double-click that file, it would automatically open an unnamed document. Document1, Document2, Document3, etc...



I am using Office 360 and cannot seem to find an answer to how to do this. Yes, I have double checked my file type. It is .dotx. Yes, I know I can make it read only forcing a Save As. However, these are not the answers I am looking for.

Is it possible to force Word to open an unnamed document from double clicking a template. I use this template a lot for my course I am taking, but it has different settings (Font, Size, Headers, Margins, etc..) than a different course I have. Want to make templates for each that I can double-click and use as needed.

Can anyone help?
