[mso] Word 2002: Applying new template styles to existing document

A user is wanting to bring a template from another document into his
document.  Adding the template through template/add-in menu was not
successful, so we took the existing document with desired template, renamed
it, deleted text, then pasted the users document so it was in the correct
template.  Problem is the numbering styles in the desired template are not
transferring to show new formatting.  The pasted text still holds the style
names of the old templates (style names are slightly different in old/new
templates) so even though his document is in the template with the desired
numbering styles, he now has to go through and select the sections and
apply new style name in order for the numbering style, tabs, fonts, etc.,
set up in template to be applied.  (hope I'm explaining rightly)  This
seems like a cumbersome method, does anyone have any recommendations for a
better way to approach this situation?  Thank you, Cathy
