Cut and Paste from older Template to New Template doesn't honor the styles/enhancements

The default setting in Word is to use the formatting of the target document (in Word for Windows, the paste options can be set at File > Options > Advanced).
For example, if you copy content formatted in a paragraph style called "My para style" into another document, and that style already exists in the target, the definition of the style in the target will be used for the pasted content.
An important exception to this rule applies to Word's built-in styles (Body Text, Normal, Heading 1, Heading 2 etc.). You can easily test this for yourself. If a built-in style hasn't been used in a document, and you copy content to which that style has been applied, the style definition of the source document will be used instead.
