Simpler still: Use Fred Ridder's technique:
1) Copy any paragraph of the desired format from the
source file.
2) Paste it into the target file.
3) Use the Paragraph Designer to add the paragraph format to the
current file's catalog.
4) Delete the pasted paragraph.

Another way is to delete all but the "wanted" formats. Be
sure not to save over (meaning either don't save or do a save as
something else). Then in your target document, file, import,
paragraph formats.
Hope that helps!

Tim,
Yes. You can do import single paragraph, character, and
conditional text formats with a MIF fragment. To do that:
Save the FM file containing the paragraph format you want
as a MIF file.
Use MIF Browse to locate, select and copy the paragraph
format.
http://www.wideman-one.com/gw/tech/framemaker/mifbrowse.htm
Paste that MIF code in a text editor. In addition to the
paragraph format, you'll also need the
<PgfCatalog
<Pgf
tags, as well as the
> # end of Pgf
> # end of PgfCatalog
## End of MIFFile
closing tags
In the text file, make sure to include a MIFFILE header is
at the top of the page. It should look something like
this:
"<MIFFile 7.00> # Generated by FrameMaker 7.0p579"
You can grab a MIFFILe header from any MIF file and use
that.
Save the MIF fragment, and then open it in FrameMaker. It
should appear as a blank page.
Import in paragraph formats from the MIF fragment into the
Frame document.
Voila.
If you run into problems, send me the file and I'll make
one for you.
best,

Is there a way to import only
specific formats or a single format from another
document instead of the whole set of paragraph
formats?
