Since you have to Save As, something is apparently preventing you from
saving the original template file correctly. Do you get an error message or
warning of some kind?

I am opening the actual tempalte (.dotx) and making the changes.
This is the way it used to done in Word 2003 - I've been doing it for
years
with no problems. It's a huge problem in Word 2007.
By the way I found a workaround (and I generally hate workarounds but
sometimes you have to get stuff done). If I save the template with a
different name it seems to keep the changes.
Whoever at MS thought this was easier to use should have their head
examined.

How are you changing the style? If you open the template as a document

modify the style directly, that should work.

I have a Word 2007 template (.dotx) where I am trying to change a style.
I
make the changes, update the style and save the template document, but
then
when I go to start a new document the style is the old one. When I
reopen
the
template, the style has reverted back to the original.
What am I doing wrong?
