I explain it with screenshots here: http://www.ahuka.com/?page_id=461 Brilliant! I figured it was in the Organise Templates, but I did not know one could double-click on 'Styles' to get to individual styles (only knew the first double-click to get to 'Styles' of the document). Doing it with 'Styles and Formatting' window open (F11) and set to show 'Applied Styles' made it easy to know which styles to copy. I've bookmarked your page for future reference. Many thanks. -- T.
