In that case I would do it with a Word macro, and make it accessible from the quick access (title bar) tool bar (I have a menu of several).

Sub AttachMyTemplate()
    With ActiveDocument
        .UpdateStylesOnOpen = True
        .AttachedTemplate = "templatepath"
        .XMLSchemaReferences.AutomaticValidation = False
        .XMLSchemaReferences.AllowSaveAsXMLWithoutValidation = False
    End With
End Sub
