atw: Copying styles from templates [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Has anyone had problems copying a paragraph style in Word from a
template to a document, using the Organizer?

I naively thought that I could update the principal paragraph style
("Para") in a document this way. The document was created using an
earlier version of the template and I wanted to make sure that, wherever
"Para" was applied in the document, it would have the attributes of the
"Para" in the *new* template. I used the Organizer to copy the "Para"
style from the template into the document, overwriting the existing
"Para" style in the document. 

Most of the attributes of the template style carried over, but the
hanging indent, which existed - and was in fact the same - in both
versions of "Para", was simply destroyed after the copying. I suppose
this may simply be a bug in the Organizer, but I couldn't recreate it in
a simple test, so before wasting too much time wanted to check if anyone
else knows about this problem.
