Can't use newly created Workitem Template

We upgraded our RTC to 2.0.0.2 last week. I upgraded my client to 2.0.0.2 today. Created a new WorkItem Template. I can see it in the configuration data.

However, when I go to the plans to add new workitems using the template, I am never prompted, nor do I see, a place to create workitems based on the template (like they show in the new release notes).

My template starts with a primary story and has several children and grandchildren.

How can I add workitems based on the workitem template?

Thanks for your help.

In the Eclipse client, invoke the New command, select the "other"
category, and then select the "work item" category. One of the choices
there will be "create new work item from template".

I've had to help several folks find this, so I've submitted work item
105744 suggesting that this be made available from the "create work
item" wizard (in the page where one selects the "work item type"). If
you agree with this suggestion, or if you think there's another place
where this should be available, please add a comment to that work item.
