How are you creating the document? How are you making it "use a custom
template"?

If you go via File New and choose the Template, that does what you ask.

When opening a new document in word that uses a custom template, when I
check
the attached template (Templates and Add-ins under Tools), it is always
normal.dot rather than the template from which I created the new document.
How can I force a new document to use my custom template and styles
automatically, rather than having to use Templates & Add-Ins and Update
Styles Automatically with each new document?
