Your assumption about styles is correct IF...

usually this is not desired.)


I have checked and the answer is Yes to all 3: the templates are Normal saved
and fonts/line spacing etc redefined for the Normal style names.

What does a template being "Normal saved" mean? Not clear on how the second
half of that sentence relates either.

Running a test, I typed one line in a doc using Normal, set it as Heading 2,
attached my own template, the style updated, attached Normal again, ticked the
box to update styles, zilch. (And this with a fresh install of Word just in
case there was an issue of corruption somewhere along the line.)

This is a mystery to me now...

So it works when you attach a different template, but not when you attach
Normal? Perhaps your Normal is corrupted. Fresh install will not have fixed
it unless you uninstalled first. Quit Word, find Normal, rename it, restart
Word, and try the test again. What version are you using?

Also see if it works when you Insert File into a new doc based on Normal
instead of attaching the template.

And ignore the error message you seem to be getting from the website, don't
repost unless you have given it some time and you are sure your message
isn't there. This one showed up 8 times.
