I created a document using the table feature and made it a template for all
of my team members to utilze. Often the information in the document needs to
be updated. So, is there a way for me to update the master template file and
have all of the documents that were created using this file changed when the
master template file changes???

A change that you make to the template will only be reflected in documents
created from that template after the change has been made. It will have no
effect on documents created from the template before the change was made.

You may be able to use the information in the article "Find & ReplaceAll on
a batch of documents in the same folder" at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm

to change all of the earlier documents.

Hope this helps.
