Opening Old Templates in Word 2016 Moves Template

When opening an older Word template in Word 2016 or newer, there may be an icon stating that the file can be converted.  However, converting the file can cause the margins of the document to change and create misalignments.

Please make sure that you do NOT click on the Convert icon in the Info tab of Word.

However, if you have already clicked on Convert and then on OK to convert the document, you can change the margins of the template to help correct the misalignment.  You can go to the View tab in Word and use the Ruler option to show the ruler at the top of the document.  You can then click and drag the icon shown below to move the template left or right.
