I spent a considerable amount of time creating a template, with shortcut
keys and everything, and it was working like a charm. So I now have a big
important document that I've been working on for like a week and all of a
sudden, it seems to have broken the link to my new template. The shortcut
keys don't work anymore, and if I want to re-assign them, my custom template
is not available for assignment anymore.

Is there a way to apply an existing template to an existing document?
 
ok... you can tell me I am stupid now...

I was going to send this template out for my coworkers to use, so I went
into Windows Explorer and put a version tag in the name. Because if this
rename, Word could just not find the template. I renamed it back and now it
works again.

I would still like to know if there is a way to link an existing document to
a template though.
