Oh, I dunno, but if the doc isn't going to be
translated I think it might be fun to say:

"You can create the document using a template or you
can roll your own."

Seriously, I do think it might be a good thing the
first time this comes up to add a note that if they
create a new document substantially different from
their existing templates, if they want to make another
similar one later they should consider making a new
template from this one when it's finished.
