Robert:
I should've added that employees tried to add the template
to an existing document that probably has some direct
formatting due to many users over the years. When the
template was attached the existing document, the
formatting would get skewered (i.e., Titles) whereas they
prefer using the Organizer because they can just pick the
heading styles only.
Thank you!

What exactly do you mean with "import the template"? The

usual way of
using templates is to place them in a folder on your

fileserver where
your workgroup has access to (or, alternatively, copy

them into each
each user profile with a logon script). That way, the

user goes to File
| New in Word, selects the template and gets a new

document based on it.

You could technically place a hyperlink to a template in

your intranet
(usually people who do that come to the newsgroups and we

then advice
them to create a hyperlink to a Windows-shortcut to the

file); it's
probably not the intended procedure.

If you could repro and describe the "inconsitencies" in

detail, that
would be of interest here I'm sure.
