Save a Microsoft Word Template to a Word Document
When saving my work, I can't change the file type from "Document Template" to "Word Document"
You may have inadvertently opened or created a template file. You cannot change the file type of a template. To save your work as a Word document instead of a template, save the template, and then create a new document: On the File menu, click New and then click the template you want to base the new document on. Under Create New, click Document and then click OK. Copy all of your work from the template to the new document. Save the new document, making sure that you click Word Document in the Save as Type box.
