Default word 2007 linked css

I am trying to understand the functionality of linking a style sheet to a
word document. Conceptually, it seems if I link a document to a CSS sheet on
a corporate web site (internally) or even share the CSS for local usage on a
work station, I should be able to control the formatting of the document. If
we change the CSS, then all documents linked to it should change as well.

Here is the thing, we have corporate documents that we write up BUT if the
template we use changes, we all have to update our documents with a
cut-n-paste to the new template which, as you can guess, is a pain. There
has GOT to be a better way to leverage word to update the formatting WITHOUT
having to cut and past to a new format.

Has anyone done this? I have tried to find information on the linked CSS
but there is pretty much nothing out there that does not relate to CSS for
web sites and web pages. Conceptually the same.

I tested by creating a CSS and linking it but none of the tags changed my
document in any way nor did H1 or H2 show up as a valid style.
