Default Templates and Styles

I have a template that is automatically loaded with the normal.dot. This
template contains a series of macros that produce buttons etc. It also
contains a set of styles. However, every new document only shows the style
from the normal.dot and no options from the additional template. I know I
can copy styles from my custom template to the normal.dot, but I have over
100 users. Is there anyway that styles in a new document can be used from the
custom template and not normal.dot?

Thanks in advance

See http://addbalance.com/word/stylesheet.htm for ideas on adding
stylesheets as global templates. Global templates other than normal.dot do
not automatically distribute styles, it would be unworkable. You can do it
with macros.

See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step
instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up other customizations
including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros,
etc.
