Great - I understand that. But then I STOP using it when I change that reference. If the fact that I stop is irrelevant (ie., once used it forever displays) then why does the Manage Styles dialog box allow me to still choose 'Hide Until Used' for that style (and worse, actually show the text)?
And if this is all functioning as intended, it's awful design. It means I cannot make any modifications to any style in a template without having that style show up in the Styles pane for every document I create from that template. So if (for example) I want to change the font of every Heading for a template, in every document I create from it, every heading is going to be visible in the Styles pane, always. Yuck.
