It was a template - and yes you can, though it may not give the expected
results. From the developer tab on the ribbon Document Template Attach. The developer tab is not shown by default. Add it from Word Options. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Gordon wrote: "Ginger Pillay" wrote in message ...

Primarily it changes the paragraph style descriptions to those associated with the attached template and thereby associates those style formats with the similarly named styles in the document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org

I believe you misread the question. The question was:
how do I attach an existing TEMPLATE to a word document? The OP wasn't asking about attaching a document to a document. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Gordon" wrote in message ...

A template is a pro-forma layout from which documents are created or which holds macros, toolbars, autotext entries. A template cannot be saved as a document and is an entirely different entity from a document when used with Word. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org

No, it isn't. A template is a .dot file; a document is a .doc file. And all
the other stuff Graham said. -- Suzanne S.
