Default Attached template doesn't stick

I'm working on a user manual. I created Manual.doc based on Template1
(FileNewTemplate1.dot). Then I decided that I'd like to have an
alternate format so I opened Template1.dot, made some changes (mostly just a
different color for heading and emphasis text) and saved it as
Template2.dot. So then I opened Manual.doc and changed the template
(ToolsTemplates and AddinsTemplate2.dotAttach... Automatically update
document styles=checked). Saved a new version of the document (Manual2.doc).
Open Manual2.doc and it's back to being attached to Template1.dot instead of
Template2.dot. Nothing I do seems to be able to get my choice of templates
to stick. Now it's not a major problem... I can change it manually in a few
seconds or even write an AutoOpen macro to handle it but I can't for the
life of me figure out why on earth the template selection doesn't stick. Any
thoughts??

Thanks

Mike
