Changes to Template in One Document Apply to All in WinWord

ID: Q41315

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.1a, 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

Changes to menus and key assignments carry over to documents based on the same template. Menu settings are stored with the template, not with each document. If you change the template while in one document, close that document, and open a previous document created with the same template, the changes are reflected in the new document.

Note: If Word cannot find the template file, Word returns the message "Unable to open template" and uses the normal menus.
