Okay, great, I'm glad that worked.

Your suggestion worked great! When we go to create a new template, we just
make sure to select "Template" instead of the default and the shortcuts
are
brought over to the new template. I was worried that we would have to
manually assign all 20-25 shortcuts...now we don't!

Let us know if that worked for you, as I wasn't confident in the answer!
I
do know that there are differences between starting with a template from
scratch and deciding later to save a document as a template, but in most
versions, if you have a template open and Save As, the default file
format
is .dot, so I'd expect that to preserve the contents of the original
template. Of course, if you were using Save As and somehow saved as .doc
instead of .dot, then that would explain the problem.

Thanks Suzanne! I never noticed that option before. I always just
accepted
the default (document).

Instead of saving the template with a new filename, try this: in the
New
dialog, select your template and choose Template as the type of file
to
create. Your shortcut keys should then be saved in the newly created
template (I think).

I have created a template and added shortcut keys for several styles.
I
notice that the shortcuts seem to be attached to the template's file
name.
I
want to create additional templates based on the original, making
only
minor
changes. When I save the new template with a new file name, the
shortcuts
disappear. Is there a way to keep the shortcuts when doing a "Save
As"
of
a
template? Should I use a macro add the shortcuts to the additional
templates?
