Hello,
Word, Excel and Powerpoint 2013 offer the new "Start Page" when launching the program. When clicking on a supplied template to open it, the process fails and gives the error message - "Something went wrong while downloading your template". We had the same issue with online templates in Office 2010. Has anyone had this same issue and is there a fix for it? We use Sophos Endpoint Security for anti-virus. Thanks.

If you try downloading the template manually from http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/?CTT=97, does that work?
Hi Stefan,
Yes, I can download templates from the address that you posted.
We have resolved the issue now, thanks for your help.
Thank you!
The "bit-ness" may or may not be part of the issue. I haven't seen the problem, but I'm using 32 bit Office (on 64 bit Windows 7).
