When you've customized a Quick Style set, you need to save it with a unique
name *before* you apply a different Quick Style set or you'll lose all the
customizations.

To save a new custom Quick Style set, do the following:
On the Home tab, in the Styles group, click Change Styles

Point to Style Set and click Save as Quick Style Set

In the Save Quick Style Set dialog box, in the File Name box, enter a name
and click OK

The name of this Quick Style set will now appear on the menu.

To back up custom Quick Style sets, you'll find each one in a .dotx file at
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Quick
Styles\*.dotx (Windows XP) or C:\Users\User
Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\QuickStyles\*.dotx (Vista)

1) How do you update a previous created customer style set? If you make
changes to the custom styles, such as adding a short cut key for each style,
and then save it and overwrite the original custom style, the changes are not
reflect the next time you use the custom style set.

The customer style set was created in a custom template, so I am making the
modifications to the custom template styles and then tying to save the
customer style set to the same name.

2) Assigning short cut keys to custom styles or styles in a custom template
simply does not work consistently. Sometimes it will put the text in the
correct style, sometimes it wont. There is no difference if you put your
cursor in the line of text or highlight it all.

Any ideas?
