[mso] Fixed style sheets?

hi All
    I would like to create a .dot template with a style sheet which  is fixed. 
That is the number of styles and their definitions remain the  same no matter 
what editing I do to the text in documents based on the  template. 
       For example if manually change the formating  for some text at "heading 
3"  I dont want word to create a new  style called "Heading 3 + underline". 
Word 2003 does this now, even  though I have the option:
  "Tools --> AutoCorrect --> AutoFormat As You Type --> "Define  styles based 
on your formatting" turned off (unchecked).  [Its  unchecked and yet new styles 
appear for each modification I make to  text with a heading style. ]
  
  Also If I paste from another document with its own styles these seem to  be 
added to the document's style sheet. I would rather the style sheet  retain the 
same, retaining a fixed number of pre-defined styles..
  
  Any suggesteions would be greatly appreciated. Believe older versions  of 
word would not create new styles so readily as 2003 and would like  the older, 
less dynamic style behavior.
  
  thanks for considering my question
  Albert
