Default Style not importing correctly from template

I am using Word 2007.

I am working on "Document A", and I want to import all styles from "Template
1."

So, I follow these steps:

1. On Developer tab, click Document Template.
2. On Templates and Add-ins window, click Organizer.
3. On Organizer tab, I close the Normal.dot template on the source side.
4. I make sure the document name is showing on the target side.
5. I copy ALL the styles from Template 1 to Document A.

When I open Document A, it does not retain all of the formatting details of
the styles in Template 1. For example, Heading 3 does not come in with the
indentation that is specified in the template (Template 1 specifies that
Heading 3 should be indented .38", but it comes into Document A left aligned).

I am working with another writer, and I witnessed this behavior after three
attempts to copy the styles from Template 1. It even failed to arrive in
Document A properly when we copied nothing but Heading 3. The other headings
seem to arrive in Document A with no issues. We verified that Heading 3
(that has a special name in Template 1) does not have a corresponding
counterpart in Normal.dotx, so we don't think there is a conflict there.

If we manually set the new Heading 3 style to indent .38" and close the
document, when we open the same document it has lost the .38" indentation.

Does anyone have any ideas what is happening?

Thank you in advance.

Tim
