You can use the Organizer to copy styles from a document into a template
(under Tools, maybe Tools | Macros, also available thru Tools |
Templates and Add-ins).
If I've been tweaking styles in the template, is there a way to tell Word
"Modify this document to obey the latest version of the template"? Or at
least "Modify a particular style, or maybe all the heading styles, to obey
the template"?


If you go to Tools | Templates and Add-Ins, it will show the attached
template for that document. If you check the "update styles" box there,
the document will pull the current style definitions from the attached
template. Don't circulate a document with that box checked, though, or
it might pull all the style definitions from the Normal.dot of the
person you send it to.
