If you try downloading the template manually from http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/?CTT=97, does that work?

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.

Hi Stefan,
Yes, I can download templates from the address that you posted.
We have resolved the issue now, thanks for your help.
Uninstall Visio Viewer 2013. Worked for me
Worked for me too.
Thank you very much!
See http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm for envelope templates or http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm for instructions to create your own.
The link you supplied worked to download the templates.
However this does not solve the issue that still remains, that is being able to download the template from the program itself. Since not all the templates are available by going to the link that you had supplied.
Do you have another suggestion?
I've done the repair 3 times already, and also have uninstalled and re-installed Office 2013.
What is Microsoft saying about this issue, since it seems to be a popular issue with the Office program
What I've found usually a profile in windows goes corrupt and causes miscellaneous issues like this whether with outlook not responding, word and excel having issues with page breaks, or issues with downloading templates even though the network connection is perfectly fine.

Try downloading the template. Let me know how this works for you as far as fixing the issue, not just a workaround.
