I use separate, modular templates. Note, though, that you want to have any
macros/styles/AutoText that you put in a menu to be in the same template as
the menu. I have eighteen Add-Ins loaded and haven't noticed a drain on
resources. (Word startup is delayed noticeably, though, as they load.)
See
http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step
instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations
including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros,
etc.
