So when I'm creating a template, wouldn't I always want to have "New
documents based on this template" selected? I think some styles I created for
my templates had "Only in this document" selected and they seemed to work
fine. I guess that's why I'm curious to what they do, because I don't really
see much difference in them.

In Word 2007, on the Modify Style dialog, two new options appear:
"Only in this document" and "New documents based on this template".
I've tried both settings but I can't seem to figure out their
purpose. Even if I change the option to "New documents based on this
template", when I access the Modify Style dialog again, the selection
is changed back to the default ("Only in this document").
Does anyone know what these options do?
When "Only in this document" is selected, the current batch of modifications
is written only to the style definition in the current document. When "New
documents based on this template" is selected, the modifications change the
definition in the template. Each time you make a new modification, you get
to choose again where you want it to be saved, and the default is always to
the document only.
