Thanks for your response, Stefan. Unfortunately, I can't utilize the
approach of inserting with the launched template due to the way the VSTO
solution I have is designed. I must use the AttachTemplate approach. The
link does give me some more ideas, though.

So, I wonder if you could tell me what the difference is between opening a
Word document by double-clicking a .dotx file versus opening a .docx from
Normal.dotx and then attaching the other .dotx file with "update styles"?
Since these two approaches give different results there must be some
difference.
