The basic answer to your questions is that Word 2008 is very like Word X.
It simply has reduced functionality and a better file format.
There is no book template: there is one on www.word.mvps.org that will
work
just as well in Word 2008 as it does in Word X. So will your current
template.
Word 2008 does not have most of the elements you want, but they would not
help you if it did. You create those elements as part of using Word.
If you open a Word do***ent in pages, the styles will come in with it.
You
won't be able to use them in other do***ents.
You can populate Word 2008 toolbars with Styles, but you may find it more
convenient to use the Formatting Palette for that purpose.
You can put some (a few...) of the controls from the Palette onto
toolbars,
but not all of them.
Hope this helps
