SYMPTOMS
When you create a subdocument within a master document, Word for Windows does not save any template or user-defined styles with the subdocument. If you open the subdocument and choose Style from the Format menu, Word lists only the built-in, default styles in the Styles box. If you select User- Defined Styles in the List box, Word displays nothing in the Styles box.

Note: To create a subdocument within a master document, choose the Create Subdocument button on the Master Document toolbar.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows version 6.0, and 6.0a. This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0c for Windows.

Method 1
 From the File menu, choose Templates.  In the Document Templates list, type the name of the template that contains the styles you want to include in your subdocument. "-or-" Choose the Attach button and select the template.  Select the Automatically Update Styles option and then choose OK.

If the template or document does not appear in the list, choose the Close File button (the button changes to an Open File button).
