Default Doc created using shared template changes when opened on diff comp

If Word 2003 on Menu Tools Templates and Addins - uncheck box "Automatically
Update Styles". Close document and reopen.

If that is not the problem check the individual styles - Modify "Name of
Style" and uncheck "Automatically update" - you should do this on the
document template not the documents created to solve the problem once and
for all and then reattach the amended template to the documents already
created.

Hope this helps.

Two procedure writers use the same procedure template to create procedure
documents. On occasion, some of the paragraph spacing before the paragraph
is
changed a few points by a writer to allow manual page breaks to be placed
in
convenient locations (allowing procedural steps to remain with associated
notes and warnings, etc). Manual page breaks are used thoughout the
document
to keep strict control on page format. Some of the documents created by
one
of the writers look fine on the originating computer; however, if they are
opened on the other writer's computer, the paragraph spacing reverts to
the
template setting and auto page breaks can double the pages in the
document.
The "Automatically update template styles" option is not turned on and the
Normal template is the same for both users. Any ideas why this is
happening?
