Template: a saved set of styles, which can include graphics; a guide for creating a new document
The word template  is used in two ways.
Technical - a document with a special format that can be used to create a new document, without risk of changing the one used as the template.   
General - any document that is used as a guide when creating a new document. 

4. Templates
A Word template can contain standard text and images that are intended to be part of every document made with the template. A template might just be a set of paragraph and character styles.
For example, a letterhead could be saved as a template file, including your favorite paragraph styles and your company logo. Create a new document using this template and your letterhead material is already there! Just add the actual text of the letter.
You used a template when you used AutoFormat to format an existing document, but only to apply the paragraph styles in the template.
