I think that they are stored IN the template.
Do the exist if they are actually used in the template document 
itself, or are all of the styles missing.


I see the problem. The Styles I created were stored in the file I 
was working in rather than the template. They are present when and 
only when that file is active.

Now the question becomes, how does one move Styles from a document 
to its foundational template? I see nothing in either the 
Style/modify or Template/organize dialogs.

 What happens when you save the document as a template?  Seems as if 
that should work, but I haven't tried it yet.

That would work, but it's an entirely different function. I need the 
rudiments of template management. I have paragraph styles that I want 
to make available in my default template. It would be nice to be able 
to do that without either rewriting the template or recreating the 
styles. But it seems we're not there yet.

Paul
I think I have to disagree.  When you open the document that was saved 
as a template and then the "Styles and Formatting" list (formerly, 
"Stylist") the new and modified styles are all available.  What part of 
the picture am I missing?  ==DT

Doug, not sure what you're saying here. I saved the file with the 
desired styles as a template. It showed up in the S&F list, yet 
the paragraph styles were not available for use in new documents, 
even when All Styles was displayed in S&F.

Even if this worked, IMO it would not be the right way to do it. 
I do not want to proliferate templates because I add styles. I 
want to be able to import new styles into one default template. I 
believe that's the logical way to do it.

Unless perhaps I've missed your intent.
