The reason I wanted to copy the styles was to create a template that would give all the documents in the project a standard look and feel. Regards Keith > > On 6/3/20 21:15, Keith N.

Re: Transfering custom syles from an old document
Yes, this can be done using the Styles and Formatting dialog. How to change styles in a document is described in the Writer Guide for AOO. You may need to do a search to download it. In addition, you should also use these custom styles to create a template for future use. That will give you access to these styles anytime you need it. How to do this is also explained in the Writer Guide. (It is an excellent source for how to use the Writer component for AOO when doing any number of tasks.) I no longer use AOO, so I can not give you complete instructions, but in the long term you need to know what is contained in this guide. Download it and study its contents.

Transfering custom syles from an old document
I have a document originally done on a system I no longer have access to which has custom styles I would like to use for a new project. Is there an easier way to to transfer them from that document to my present system than opening the old document and a new one and recreating then one by on in the new document?
