Open the stylist window - the minuscule drop-down list at the top
right of it offers a 'load styles' menu entry. Select that, then
'from file' in the resulting window. That will copy /all/ styles
(well, most! There seem to be a few defaults that don't copy).
Which may or may not be what you need -- I know of no way to copy
just one style -- short of editing the xml by hand, that is :-)
There is a way to do this, in fact:
o Open the destination document.
o Go to File | Templates > | Organize... .
o Select Documents from both drop-down menus at the bottom of the
Template Management window.
o Click File... and browse to and open the document which is the
source of the style. (Alternatively, you can just open this document
first as well.)
o Double-click the source document and then the Styles icon in one
panel to display its styles.
o Repeat for the destination document in the other panel.
o Drag individual styles between documents to move them or - more
sensibly, perhaps - Ctrl+drag them to copy them.
You say that you wish to use the style in "other documents" - in the
plural. Note that the above technique can be used to copy styles
into templates, and this may be more appropriate to your needs. Once
a style is in a template, it will appear in any document based on
that template, of course.
I trust this helps.
