Something went wrong while downloading your template

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?

    Is there any way to actually get it to work through the program? The problem for me seems to just be with certain templates.

    Based on the replies here, the original poster worked around the issue by downloading templates from the link I posted.
