I am going to be tasked with applying a new template to about 65 proposal
documents. Some of these documents had an earlier life in Word Perfect. Some
are very graphic intensive and large in file size; others are mostly just
text intensive. Further, these current documents are inconsisently formatted
(hence the need for a new template). By this I mean page setup,
headers/footers, logos and their size, styles names and their definitions,
and some have left/right pages while most are set up for single page. I do
not think any single document exceeds 80 pages. All use outline numbering for
heading levels and this much I know will be true in the new template.

I do not yet know what other changes there are to be in the new template,
but I would like to be looking ahead to what could become a massive amount of
work.

I am operating in Word 97 SR2. Does anyone have a sound stategy they can
offer without knowing more of what the nuts and bolts changes are in the new
template. Or, is it best to wait and see what the new template contains
before forming a strategy.

Any guidance or suggestions would be most appreciated.
