Can you make a document automatically update changes styles template?

But MY IDEA of styles is that if you have lots of documents based on a template. If you change the styles in that template, then all of the documents should be updated to that style.

This would apply in a company, where the manager decides that from now "we will use Tachoma font in all of our documents."

As Charles wrote, you can have document styles update based on the attached template (*.dotx) by enabling the "Automatically update document styles" option for each document that you create. The setting isn't turned on by default, and I think there are good reasons for that.

Suggestions for Microsoft can be posted in the Uservoice forum at http://word.uservoice.com.
