Adding a template and keeping styles
We have created a standard office template. Everytime we attach it to a doc
the old stles are staying. Even if we delete them out. Does anyone know how to fix this? I would like to open an old doc. attach new template and have all styles be updated. Any help is much appreciated! |

Are you turning on "Automatically update document styles" when you
attach the new template? -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

When you attach the new template, check the box for updating styles and
click on OK. (Then open up the Templates and Add-Ins dialog again and _uncheck_ that box.) All this does is change the definitions of any styles in your old document to those in the new template. It does not go through your document and apply styles in place of direct formatting. Note, though, that if you are using old documents as the source for new documents, you should be using templates instead.
