lost autonumbering 4 headings with attached template

I developed a custom template in Word 2002 XP and defined
an outline numbering scheme for the built-in headings. If
a user creates a new document from the template, the
heading numbering occurs as expected. If the user attaches
the template to an existing doc and clicks auto update
styles, the numbering scheme is totally ignored.

That is, unfortunately, correct. There is no mechanism to copy list
templates. This has to be done 'manually' from VBA code. To get around
this, I always define my numbering styles (list templates) from VBA.
When I need to 'copy' them, I just add and define the appropriate LT
using said VBA.

A total PITA.
