Hi Kerry,

You could have your templates configured with INCLUDETEXT & INCLUDEPICTURE fields that reference the relevant content in 'master' files. That way, you'd only need to update the master files for the changes to be reflected in all documents created from those templates. Of course, the templates would also need to have a 'Document_New' macro that unlinks the INCLUDETEXT & INCLUDEPICTURE fields any newly-created documents, so that a later change in logos etc wouldn't be reflected in those files too.
