Thanks for the feedback, Colin! :-)

Bad things
* The template doc only binds loosely to its child docs. You get a snapshot of the styles at the time the doc is created, but any subsequent changes in the template doc are not reflected in the child doc.


This is improved in OOo 2.0 (beta). Theoretically at least, any changes in the template will be updated in docs associated with it. This worked in some builds, but I haven't tried it since the beta came out.
