You can get around this by uploading template documents (not dotx or dotm, but docx*) to an accessible 'brand' library and then asking users to open and then 'save as' from there. Making the library read-only will limit the potential for accidential change to the document.
*If you use 'dotx' or 'docm' the 'Edit in Browser' option is not available (at least in our tenant).

Thanks Simon. Just one extra question: did you do it this way in Sharepoint or Sharepoint online?

We have an enterprise 365 subscription and until your question prompted a quick google search I did not know there were two offerings - bless MS for keeping it simple. However, my understanding is that the necessary file sharing/ sync capabilities are central to the structure of both so as long as your users all have access the outlined methodology should work. I'd set up one template in a library and get a user to see if they can connect as described....
