immunize a template?

[keith brickey]

Is there any way to immunize a template to prevent Word from modifying
styles? I have a vba routine that changes bulleted paragraph formating in a
document. It does not remove the bulltet, and yet sometimes when I run it,
the bullet gets dropped from template style which affects other documents
that use the same style sheet.

Thanks,

keith

The simplest way is to set Read-Only attribute of the template file.
