Recently I decided to use a document template on the Mactopia site for a paper. I downloaded the .dot file and placed it in my Templates folder. Try as I might, they didn't appear in the Project Gallery. The help file merely says the file must be "valid".
The trick is: you must set the type/creator to W8BN/MSWD. Apparently file extension is meaningless.
[Editor's note: I'd never seen the templates on Microsoft's site before. After looking at a couple for Word and Excel, I must say it's a relatively impressive collection of helpers!]
