It seems simple enough - just open it and start writing.
But I find the expandable text boxes being shown there a bit offputting and I find that I have to manually expand them to be able to write more.
So offputting I figure I"m doing it wrong.
The template should be invisible to me shouldn't it? I just write and it performs?
So I have a dotx file my school insisted I download and use for letters.
How do I use it? Can anyone help?
p.s. I now find the text box won't expand to a second page - so I can't even continue a letter. I must have it very wrong.
I'm happy to upload the dotx but there seems no provision.

Oh dear, no one answered you. You probably have found out. But since 1839 people viewed this, let me try and quickly answer:
Hope that helps

@Jan_Wijninckx Dear Jan, I did everything as you instructed, still the template does not appear at the File Backstage. Possibly because - with the single exception of Normal.dotm - the Backsatge is overcrowded with online templates. But I cannot prohibit these online templates as shutting down the internet connection would disable many other features. Any idea how I can persuade Word to display my personal templates?

@Tamas60 You're right, doesn't work (it did) that folder. So I used file save as, then selected .dotx, to see the folder location. Comes up as:
C:\Users\username\Documents\Custom Office Templates
No go to File > New > Personal, and you should see the template
So that is the location. I also see that Microsoft says:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/My Templates
Suggest you use the file saveas to get to the location :)
