Master template and subtemplate docs

[ab-os]

I seek the expertise on Word templates, style sets, themes.



For our company we have about 30 template documents. They all 'originate' from the same general/master template, in the sense that they all have the same styles & headers & titlepage. The content (actual headings and preset text) is different. However, they are not really 'linked'. So an adjustment in e.g. the header must be implemented in each template file.

What I would like is one template file which has:
* Theme font and theme color
* Header and footer
* Titlepage
* Table of content
* Custom multilevel list

And then, in some way, the 30 documents which hold specific content or text. And a easy way to apply the master template to those documents.

BTW, I can image this cannot be done with standard Word functionality. But I'm not scared of a programatic solution such as in VBA.
