Hi Urska and Cor,

Yes you are both right, once I defined blank pages and used the header 
styles in the template they were correctly imported into the 
documents each time I reloaded it.

So defining them isn't enough, they have to be used in the template to 
be used in the document. Once again, it's a case of the most obvious 
thing possible is the way it works.

Thanks to both of you for the pointers and help

Alan
