How to create a new document using a .docx template in a workflow

Question

First of all, I am new to Sharepoint, and I am having trouble with some stuff.

I need to make a new word document in a document library using an existing .docx template. The new document should be created in a workflow and it should filled with the metadata of an list element.

Can anyone help me, give me a hint or a link to helpfull page?
