open with command in windows exporer to open template

[cc]

Hi,

I'm using word 2003 and windows xp.

When I used Word 2000 and Windows 2000, I would right click on a template
and open a template with word 2000. I'm not getting the same results now.

Has this happened to anyone else.

Thanks.

What result are you getting?

That procedure still works for me in both Word 2003 and 2007. However, it
should only be used if you want to modify the template itself.

Hi Doug,

It opens it up into a brand new document and not the original template.

As I said, the behaviour is unchanged for me in both Word 2003 and 2007, but
as opening the template itself should not be a common requirement, I would
just open it from the File menu in Word.
