I can open a template in Citrix using word and the
template is correct. However if I move that template to
my local drive and try to open or try to open it from
where it is stored.  I looks ok for a minute then the
whole format changes.  I am working with Office 2003.

Can you expand on "the whole format changes"? Do you mean the font
changes? The layout changes?

The fonts change to a larger font and when that happens
the whole layout is much bigger.

What printer driver are you using? Word obtains fonts from the printer
driver. If the same fonts are not available then it will substitute
fonts accordingly.

Additionally, are you viewing the document in the same Zoom setting?

"Template" has a very specific meaning in Word nomenclature. I'm not sure
you are talking about a Word template. One way to tell for sure is to use
Save As. If it is a Word template, it cannot be saved as a Word document. If
it is a document, it can be saved as a document or as a template (or .rtf
...).

If it is a document, I suspect that under Tools => Templates and Add-Ins you
will find the box checked to update styles from the template.
