Hi Louanne
In your document, do Tools Templates and Add-ins. Is the "Automatically
update document styles" box ticked?
If so, un-tick it. Then, make a minor change in the document (eg press
spacebar, then backspace). Then save your document.
Now, send it to your colleague.
If the problem is solved, you can read the explanation he
What happens when I send my document to someone else? Will Word mess up my
formatting?

If the problem is not solved, post back and let us know whether that box was
ticked, what is the name of the template in that dialog box, and what
version of Word you're using.
Hope this helps.

Hi
I created a document using a template.
When I sent the document to another person the formatting was overridden
by
a template that they had with the same name as the template I had used.
How do I stop a document from picking up templates on others PCs and use
my
one?
