SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word for Windows, when you close or save a document after you have made style, autotext (version 6.0), glossary, macro, menu, toolbar, or keyboard assignment changes to the template attached to the document, Word asks you if you want to save the changes to the template file itself.

When you close a document or choose Save All from the File menu in Word, the following message may appear:

   Word Versions     Message
   -------------------------

   2.0 and later     Do you want to save changes to <templatename>?
   1.x               Save changes to <templatename>?

When you save a document in Word, the following message may appear:

   Word Versions     Message

   2.0 and later     Do you want to save changes to the document
                     template?
   1.x               Save changes to document template too?

MORE INFORMATION

The results of choosing Yes to these prompts differ depending on what kind of changes you made.

Autotext (version 6.0), glossary, macro, menu, toolbar, and keyboard assignment changes are reflected in every document based on the template, even those documents that you have already created and saved.

Style changes saved to the template are reflected only in new documents you create based on the template. Documents you created previously based on the template do not reflect the style changes in the template.
