As for themes, currently my need is to create documents now, as in this weekend/week so set up time is limited. I currently have my normal.dotm file setup so I can go ahead and do what I need for now.

Set a theme to have (1) your heading and body text fonts and (2) a set of colors you want to use.
Define your styles in relationship to that theme. That way, if you later want to change these, all you need to do si change the theme to change all of your styles.

That being said I am looking at getting involved in another venture which would more than likely need different styles. This looks ideal for themes, e.g. I assume I could set up a theme for Company 1 and a theme for Company 2 and switch between them as needed. Yes?

Yes.

I now want to setup another template for User Guides. This template will contain actual content, e.g. specific sections and text common to all guides. However I would want it to use all the styles from normal.dotm and if I change the normal.dotm I would want the styles in my user guide template to be updated.
If I create a new document from the normal.dotm and then SAVE AS UserGuide.dotm are those templates still linked?
Thanks
Steve

The styles in your new .dotm templates will not be linked to normal.dotm or any other template. You should learn to use the
Organizer.
For another way of distributing styles, see
A Global StyleSheet in Microsoft Word?
You should also look into Building Blocks, in particular AutoText.
