    Use a Document Template

    By default, every time you start a new document in Word, the Document Template Library will pop up. You can disable this feature in the About pane.

    Note: If you are part of an organization, this setting might be disabled and managed centrally by your organization.

    Alternatively, you can click on "File" → "presentaid" → "Open Document Library" to choose from the templates you saved.
