Please help me

Please advise in the following situation.

I am using Word 2003. I have some documents that where
created in Word 97 and Word 2000. Those documents are
suppose to follow a macro that opens a master document
which specifies the styles and format all my documents
have to follow.

Since I upgrade to Word 2003, all my documents have lost
their format. I have tried to reformat them manually but
they are long documents and I have many of them.

I look forward for some help to recover my styles and
format in my documents. Thanks!

Why not just attach the template containing the styles you want to use?

That would not make them available in the document (w/o copying them
over the Organizer), wouldn't it?

Oh... when "automatically update document styles" is ticked, yes it
does, of course.

I don't think so. I think the template styles become available when you
attach the template. Why else would you attach it? But I don't use this
feature, so I could very well be wrong.

Attaching the template makes its styles (and macros etc) available to the
document. If 'Automatically update' is NOT checked, then the appearance of
any existing matter in the document does not change. If it IS checked then
the existing matter is restyled according to the template's style
definitions. It is similarly restyled each time you reopen the document.
