Apply template to existing Word document

's Computer Specifications

Hi

I have made some style changes to my Normal.dot template. Now I want
to apply those changes to some existing Word documents. When I open
existing documents the styles are still set to the original settings
(which is understandable).

How do I update the existing documents to use the new template
settings?

Reattach the template with "Automatically update document styles" checked
(Tools | Templates and Add-ins).
