I use gmayer's great tutorial on merging pictures from a database into a WORD document. I tried to save the main (template) document so I could use it for later merges and the whole structure went away. I also get a "Word will insert data from your SQL query..." when I try to reopen the document.

How do I save the pristine template document?

I am not sure what you mean by the "whole structure went away", but for the
SQL business, see this Knowledge Base article

"Opening This Will Run the Following SQL Command" Message When You Open a
Word Document - 825765
