I hesitate to respond to this, but it is so much misinformation that I feel
I must.
1. This is also true of ".dot" files in Word's template directory.
This is also true of text (".txt") files.
2. How do you change the extension and _then_ save?
Or do you mean "Save As" a Template?
3. A document with a dot extension will not behave like a template. Period.
The contents of Word's Template directory are not protected by Word.
4. That is (more or less) how templates (everywhere) work.
5. Yes you can. Word does not protect it.
6. Correct.
7. Changing the extension does not create a document.
It creates a template with a ".doc" suffix.
Templates can be edited anyway (see point #1).
