Problems 'Maggying' a Word file

[Steve]

Not specifically a problem with the Mac version of Office but I am
having a problem in Word 2003 that might be solved here.

I have a document that has its own template and limited set of styles.
When I opened it today I saw that additional styles were not included
and decided that (once again) it was time to Maggie the document.

When I create the new document from the template only the template
styles are included but when I copy the test over from the 'corrupt'
document (omitting the final paragraph mark) all the unwanted styles
are coming over too. Where am I going wrong?

As an aside, what is the origin of the term Maggying a document? I
know it was from someone of that name but can't remember who she is
and any of the background.

Cheers,

Steve

I had a moment of clarity when I remembered that (for some reason) you
can't copy over the whole document and need to limit it to chunks of
less than 50 parapgraphs.
