Using templates with Copilot in Word

[SimonHodgkinson0]

Hi.
I am trying to figure out how to get Copilot in Word to draft a new document but using an existing .dotx template, but alias I just can't.
I need to know if there's specific steps to follow to be able to do that I'm not aware of or if I should just stop trying so hard because it's simply something that is not available in Copilot for Word.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried starting with the template open already in the document? This is the route to take when using PPT templates so unsure if the same for Word.
