I will be receiving a bunch of ODTs written by people who are using their own style

If I open a new doc with my template, and copy-paste/copy-paste special/insert
file theirs into mine, will I get what I want?
Thanks.
Please see
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/user_guide2_draft.pdf
for the section entitled "Copying Styles into Documents" near page 80. I
think this will help you.
On page 81, it says, "Use this dialogue to copy the Styles contained in a particular
template or in a particular document individually to another document. Look at the
illustration. As can be seen double-clicking the name of a folder in the left window
shows all the templates contained in that folder below it . Double-clicking one of these
files causes the two categories Styles and Configuration to appear. Once again,
double-click to open a list of the objects contained. But in the case of a document one
only sees the Styles that are actually used in that document."
However, dragging and dropping MOVES the style; it doesn't copy it.
One must CTRL-click to drag for a copy. Is that standard?
BTW, on page 80, it says, "Select Format > Styles > Catalogue to open a dialogue
which shows the different Styles for the current document."
I don't think that 2.x has Format > Styles > Catalogue.
Thanks.
