I have saved my outlook template documents on my laptop to an external
storage device. When I transfer them to my desktop, they have converted to an
oft file which I cant open. I have tried opening file using outlook but it
states that the oft file is not a valid Win32 application. Help!

You are not providing any information to work with.
How did you create the template documents?
Where did you store them originally?
Which method of transferring did you use to get them to your external device
and to your desktop?
Which version of Outlook are you using?
