And note that if you were trying to change the outline level for TOC
purposes, you can map any outline level to any TOC level in the TOC Options
(or whatever the 2007 equivalent is). If it's for outline numbering, you can
demote the headings to lower outline levels for that, too, for example using
Title for Level 1, Heading 1 for Level 2, etc., but it is usually more
efficient to just use the heading levels as they're intended.

Many thanks for this. Yes, it was Heading 1 and Heading 2 I was trying to
customise. I will think of a different approach for the template.

Even
though it appears as if you can change these levels when editing the
styles
in the template, you cannot. They are hard-coded.

I am creating some templates in Word 2007 which use customised Heading

Heading 2 styles. I find that new documents created using the
templates lose
some of the formatting set for these styles in the original template.
I have
tried to set the option 'New documents based on this template' in the
Modify
Style dialogue box but it always reverts back to 'Only in this
document'. Any
ideas?
