System: OS Windows XP, MS Word 2003, SP3

Have a problem with a rogue tab when importing styles.

I frequently need to apply a set of standard styles to documents
(mainly contracts) which I receive and have a template from which I can
import the styles. I have found one glitch that seems impossible to
resolve and would appreciate help.

Using a simple test system to illustrate the problem:

(1) A source document is created from Normal.dot (which has default tab
stops set at 1.5 cm). I select the Heading 1 style and type �This is
test data�. This text is formatted correctly, in accordance with the
style properties for Heading 1 (Normal + Font: (Default) Arial, 16 pt,
Bold, Indent: Left: 0 cm, Hanging: 1.5 cm, No widow/orphan control,
Keep with next, Level 1, Tabs: 1.5 cm, List tab, Outline numbered +
Level: 1 + Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3, � + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left
+ Aligned at: 0 cm + Tab after: 1.5 cm + Indent at: 1.5 cm)

(2) I attach my StylesTemplate.dot using �Tools/Templates and
Add-Ins/Attach� and then apply (�OK�) firstly with �Automatically
update document styles� selected and then a second time with this
option de-selected. The text is re-styled according to the imported
style of Heading 1 (Agrmnt_Text + Font: Times New Roman Bold, Bold,
Indent: Left: 0 cm, Hanging: 1.5 cm, Keep with next, Level 1, Tabs:
1.5 cm, List tab, Outline numbered + Level: 1 + Numbering Style: 1, 2,
3, � + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0 cm + Tab after:
1.5 cm + Indent at: 1.5 cm) EXCEPT that there is no indent and the
single tab required by this style is set at 0.63 cm and not 1.5 cm as
required by the style properties. Opening Heading 1 in the �Tools/
Styles and Formatting/ Modify/Format/ Numbering� (there is no need to
enter the �Customize� dialog) and just clicking �OK� corrects the
problem.

Any thoughts on what is going on here would be much appreciated.

Why would you create your new document from the normal.dot template
instead of from the StylesTemplate.dot template?
