    You are creating a new document, not opening the template.

    Right-click on the icon outside of Word and choose Open.

    The name of the template will appear in the Title bar and it will now be under Recent. It can be pinned.

    I routinely pin templates there when I am working on them.

    Here is my page on Templates.

    Possible Causes:

    1. VBA code in the template may interfere with recent files.
    2. Template may be opened in a non-standard way (e.g., with .Open method instead of .Add).
    3. The template could be set to prevent adding to the Recent list via VBA or policy.
    4. Trust Center settings or macro settings might be blocking file tracking.

    Trust Center Settings:

    Go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings.

      Under **Privacy Options**, ensure “Store random numbers to improve Combine accuracy” is **enabled**.
  
     Under **File Block Settings**, make sure your template file types aren’t blocked.
