If you are creating a new template, simply open Word and go on to step 2.

This allows you to edit the document without modifying the actual template. When you open a Word template (from within Word or by double-clicking the file), Word makes a copy of that template and then opens that copy for you to edit as if it was a regular Word document. Word templates are different from standard Word documents. If you have not done this, see the Preparing Export Data and Merge Templates for more information.

These instructions assume that you have exported data to the Exported Data file for the template you are creating or editing, and have opened that template in Microsoft Word.
