Template issues when moving Word templates from Windows to Mac

I use both Office XP (WinXP) and Office 2004 (Mac OS X) and routinely
move documents between the two. However I have noticed some strange
behaviour with Word templates.
If I create a doc in Word XP based on a template I can copy that
document to my Mac and update it in Word 2004. But whenever I try to
save the document I get a dialog asking if I also want to save changes
to 'Document 1' (or 'Document 2' etc). The only way I can get rid of
this is by explicitly removing the template from the documents (via
Templates and Add-Ins).
It's almost like Word is treating the template (that it can't find
because it's over on the WinXP machine) like a new document (the
'Document 1' type naming I see is consistent with the default Word
naming for new documents, ie it increments as more documents are
opened) *but* this document is not listed in the open documents
windows.
This doesn't happen in Word XP - even on a machine that doesn't have
the original template.
Has anybody else experience this and / or know how to stop it ?
