MORE INFORMATION
In Word, you usually create a new document by basing it on a template.
However, you can also base a new document on another Word document,
but you cannot later attach a Word document as a template to an
existing Word document.
When you base a new document on an existing Word document, Word
inserts the text from the existing document in the new document as
a boilerplate.
