Default Copy to a new template

I am trying to update a lot of documents using new styles and page layouts.
The page layout needs mirrored margins, so that I always have a wider margin
on the outside of the page (the document will be printed on both sides of the
paper). I though I could set up a new template with the page setup I wanted
and then copy the contents of the document from the old version into the new
template. When I do this the text aligns left of my left margin! How do I
apply the text to the new template?

Also I need to change all the styles from the old document. Ideally I will
be able to set up a template with the new styles (with the same names as the
old ones) and Word will update the formatting for me. Is this possible?

TIA
