Word seems to give priority to customizations in attached templates over those in the normal template when there is a conflict. For instance, I have shortcut keys assigned to macros in my normal template. When I attach a custom template that has conflicting assignment for those same shortcut keys, Word will revert to their assignment in the custom (attached) template.

Example:

My Normal template has this key assignment:
Alt+A launches AcceptChanges

I attach a custom template with this key assignment:
Alt+A launches ApplyTableStyle

Once I attach the custom template Alt+A always launches ApplyTableStyle.

Is there any way via VBA or otherwise to change the preference order for template customizations?
