Users don't read the guide... Even assuming users have read the help is usually
too strong of an assumption.

> "Create" sounds to me as setting-up a new template.

Granted, "Create" is a bit ambiguous, although the fact that you're selecting
an existing template suggests you're no creating a new one. But "Open"
absolutely sounds like you're opening the template you've chosen, for editing.
So, "Create" is much better than "Open". So,

> Is Open really that misleading? 

Yes.

> We could go with "New From Template"

This hints that the currently selected template is not the one to be used.

My suggestion: "Use" or "Apply" or "Use Template".

Benefits:

* Terse.
* Not ambiguous, i.e. you're using/applying something existing, and that
something can only be the template you've chosen.

Detriments:

* The short names are slightly vague.
