Default Update Documents w/Changes to Template/Styles

I have created about 20 documents using the same template. However, the
template has been update repeatedly. When I create a new document using the
template all the current styles are available. However, the documents I
created first do not have all the styles included in the new version. How
can I make all styles in the "new" template available in the documents I
created first?

Terry - You rock! I searched for hours w/no luck. Now I don't feel quite so
bad since the answer is buried. I appreciate your help.

If you are creating and using templates, you should have the developer tab on
your ribbon. Add it by going to Word options most popular options show
developer tab in ribbon. Clicking the icon in the templates group of the tab
brings up the templates and add-ins dialog you may remember from W2003.

Pam, Thanks for the alternative. It's kind of embarrassing - I have the
Developer tab and didn't check it closely enough.
