Did you do an Open command from inside of Word? If so, then Yes, the
template will open. However, if you went through the New templates folder
and selected it, a .docx document should have been created. If you opened
the folder that the template was stored in and double clicked on it, a new
..docx document should have been created. However, if you right clicked on
it and selected Open, it will Open.

Shouldn't a Word template file (dotx) that you open, automatically open as a
..docx file so that users cannot save over the template? Mine opens as
..dotx... it is saved in the Trusted Templates location.
