Company Word templates available for anyone in the organization
Bonevoyage Have you tried to store your template in an Organisation assets library?
The templates will be available on the Office Clients (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)

I can confirm that this works with any license that includes Office applications. I have distributed our templates to Business Standard licensed users. It is in fact part of your SharePoint Online subscription so no additional costs. They can access the templates from Office Dekstop and Office online inclusing Mobile apps.
JohnDayQA Your answer got me quite excited - making Word/Excel /PowerPoint templates availabel to all our users is just what we'd like to do!
However, I read on the MS documentation about org assets that "The org assets library is not available in Word on the web or Excel on the web".
For clarity - do you mean "a user can open Word Online, and see the Word templates", please? Or something else.
Note: I'm not a technician but if you speak slowly, understand pretty well.

This was explained and demonstrated in my YouTube video.
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn8vDwT5QZA&t=54s- Word and Excel Templates are not available in Word or Excel online.
- Link to demonstration video showing that they are.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn8vDwT5QZA&t=54sThanks JohnDayQA we've now deployed the org assets library!
Great for our E3 licencees who can access via Desktop apps, less great for our F3 licence holders. Am taking your video away for viewing to see if your solution avoids that issue. Much appreciated. Happy holidays.
- Ah that's a shame. Thanks for confirming.
