Can you elaborate on, "You won't like what happens you do." What would
happen?

Thanks,
Colin

Note that it generally a _bad_ idea to leave the option to update styles
from the template checked. You won't like what happens if you do.

I have a document based on a template I created. In document properties,

correctly shows my template.

I thought that as I'd been making style changes in the template, they
also
showed up in the document based on that template, but now I'm not sure.

Certainly, now, as I make changes to styles in the Template, they are not
appearing in the document based on that template.

Is there any way I can be sure that the document accurately reflects the
styles of its template?

Hi Colin,

Changes you make in a template's styles *never* have any effect in
existing documents unless you take further action. Here are some
articles that explain what you're seeing and what you need to do:

"Styles" section 2/3 down the page
