Unable to open some word documents created from a template

I am trying to open a word document that was created from a template. The template has since been renamed/removed however whenever I try to open the document Word tries to open the associated template and as it can't find it, crashes and the document never opens

See screenshot

Is there a way to dis-associate all documents created with templates by default. At the moment I cant even open the document

Create a dummy template and in that template document open event put some code to detatch the document

activedocument.attachedtemplate = ""

should do the trick
