Ah! That won't work with a new style, only updates to already existing
styles. However, Suzanne's solution will work to get the new styles across
to existing documents, but you will still need to apply the new styles to
the appropriate bits.

Please excuse my ignorance but I don't think what you said works.

1) I have template named foo1.dotx
2) It has in it style1, style 2
3) I start new doc, doc1.docx  file based on this template
4) I add some text to doc1
5) I open foo1.dotx create new style called style3
6) I save dotx file
7) I return to doc1.dotx and run autoformat
8) No style named style3 exists.
This is what I need to do as well as applying many other changes made
to the original dotx file.

Thank You

Hi,

When you create a document based upon a selected template, MS Word the
copies all styles and format from that template. Once it is done, tha
new document has no relationship with existing template.

The way you wanted is only possible by using Normal.doc which i
commonly available to all documents.

Another way could be for advanced users to write down macro tha
encapsulate all formating and then just run that macro on new documen
so that it should update styles and formats based upon chose
template.

Hope it will help.
