Default Please help me

Okay, I've tested this, and I see you're right. It would appear that
"Automatically update document styles" means something different from what I
assumed. I took it to mean, "Apply the newly attached templates styles to
the document," in effect doing a Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+Spacebar to make all
paragraphs in the document in, say, Body Text, assume the formatting of the
Body Text style in the template. What it evidently (also?) means is, "Add
the styles from the template to those in the document" or "Automatically
update the styles *list*." That's a bit misleading, I think, but at least
now I know.

I don't think so. I think the template styles become available when you
attach the template.


Not here on my Word 2003 (see my other answer to Jezebel "below").

Why else would you attach it? But I don't use this
feature, so I could very well be wrong.


I guess you make makros and autotexts available that way, but not styles
(w/o AutoUpdate, that is ...).
