Deleting template affects styles, specifically font size.

[BrownEyedMaria]

I have a document that I'm trying to save onto a CD; I'd like whoever
accesses the file from the CD to open it without getting a message that the
template is not on their computer. However, when I remove the template, it
affects font size throughout the document. Is there some setting I can
change so that styles are preserved throughout even after removing the
template? Thanks!

Both of these issues are likely caused by having the "Automatically update
document styles" box checked in Tools | Templates and Add-ins.

Thanks! Auto update document styles *was* selected in some documents, but
not in others -- I ended up deselecting, saving it under a new name, then
stripping the template and that seemed to keep the styles themselves intact.
I appreciate the input!
