New custom bibliography style does not appear in bibliography style list

I am using Word 2010 with the latest service pack. I am trying to create a new bibliography style.  I have tried the process described on blogs.office.com whereby you create your own bibliography *.xsl file using another style file as a pattern.  I took the turabian.xsl file, for example, and made a copy of it named MYFILE.XSL.  In the new file, I replaced the only occurrence of "Turabian" with "MYFILE".  This is the only change I made, just to see if I could get the new style to show up in the bibliography style list.  Even with that as the only change, MYFILE does not show up in the bibliography styles list. 

 

I tried making the same change to the turabian.xsl file ("turabian"->"MYFILE") in an attempt to see if I could edit that file rather than adding a new style, but "Turabian"  disappeared completely from the bibligoraphy style list.

 

Other articles I have read seem to indicate that this process which was written for Word 2007 should work the same way for Word 2010.  (Of course, I am using the bibliography style files from word 2010 as the template.) Can anyone advise me what I am doing wrong, or does this not work in Word 2010?

Thanks!
