Yes

That opens Template Dialog

I agree, that this should be improved. Creating a new document based on a
template is not part of managing templates

> (case #4)
> File / Templates / Manage Templates
> and right click, you'll see  strange options!
> OPEN and EDIT...
> as we know, open in this context means "new from this template"...
> whereas "EDIT" means what one will think it means... (open the template for
> editing)
I also agree, that this could be improved

cc: Design-Team for further input and decision for case 3 and 4
