Well this more exercise reframing/redefining the actual issue. Which fine -
deeper investigation - however I still see a problem

1. Open the attached file
2. Go to page 5
3. Say I want to copy chapter 1
4. Press arrow left the place cursor left of Chapter 1
5. CTRL+SHIFT ARROW DOWN number of times to select content of Chapter 1
5. CTRL+C
6. CTRL+N
7. CTRL+V

Result
Chapter 1 page style being copied & pasted
Endnote page style skipped, but endnotes are pasted (making even more
complicated)

---
8. CTRL+N
9. Sidebar -> Styles -> Page Style tab
10. Create a new page style called Chapter 1
11. On the page tab set orientation to landscape
12. Press OK (style isnt applied, only present)
13. CTRL+V

Result. Conflicting page styles with same name. The existing - in document -
page style is kept above the one on the clipboard. If there is no conflict the
page style is simply pasted

The solution would be to make the copy/paste style unique. So if they same
style name is present in source as target document, the style from source
document needs to renamed to something else. Instead of using an arbitrary page
style with the same name

Another option would be to not copy/paste the page style in any case

The current is mishmash of both worlds
