RE: templates in Word 7

["Monique Semp" <monique -dot- semp -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

Hi Sally,

Short answer is, you have to use the template organizer and import styles
from a given template or doc.  This is not the same thing as FrameMaker
though.  If you import styles from the template, then change the template,
the doc's styles do not automatically update.

Shauna Kelly has a lot of good articles about styles and templates; here's
one of them I'd recommend:
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/attachtemplate/index.html.

Good luck,
-Monique
