Styles in a template can also be managed (aka overwritten) by styles in the style library (Inventor Options \ Files \ Design Data). The styles in your template must be synchronized to the design data or it will overwrite any file opened or created that uses that design data per your project (.ipj) file settings. The files in the Design Data folder must not be read-only (for us we check the entire set into Vault to keep from tampering), then use the Manage \ Styles \ Save command to Push to the Design Data and Manage \ Style \ Update command to Pull from the Design Data.
A good methodology here is this:
1. Check out Design Data files (make sure all files are read-write for current user).
2. Update styles to match template file to Design Data.
3. Modify Styles in template file, and save template file.
4. Save template styles back to Design Data.
5. Lock down Design Data Files (set all files to read-only, or copy to vault or simply make a zip file for backup).
