Default Word 2003 -- Styles from shell doc not being applied to target doc

Here's something strange...

I have a shell document saved as a .dot that contains the disclaimer,
copyright statement, revision table, and other doo-dads required by ISO:9000
and IEEE. It also has the placeholders for the TOC, list of figures, and
list of tables. I suck it into new documents to get them started with all
the styles, upfront content, and macros I need.

I open a blank document, insert the .dot file, and ensure that the .dot is
attached as a template using the Tools - Templates and Add Ins feature. I
then have to use the template organizer to ensure that all the styles are
copied into the target document. Some of them are not making it. Odd.

Why would the Insert/File function brings in all but the same four styles?
