Hi Kyle,
From Help:

Using Styles From Another Document or Template
You can import styles from another document or template into the current 
document.
1.Choose Format - Styles and Formatting to open the Styles and Formatting 
window.
2.Click the arrow next to the New Style from Selection icon to open the submenu.
3.Choose Load styles.
4.Use the check boxes at the bottom of the dialog to select the style types that you want to import. To replace styles in the current document that have the same name as the ones you are importing, select Overwrite.
5.Do one of the following:
Click an entry in the Categories list, then click the template containing the styles that you want to use in the Templates list, and then click OK. Click From File, locate the file containing the styles that you want to use, and then click name, and then click Open.

Hi,

I'm using OpenOffice 2.3 writer on both Mac Leopard and Ubuntu 7.10, and I am having the same problem on both.

I have a large file (107 pages), and when I:
--select all
--copy
--past into another document

Open Office crashes and goes into its file recovery cycle, which seems to succeed but upon opening the recovered files, Open Office crashes again after a short time, initiating the recovery process again. So now the files appear to be completely lost.

I am doing this so I can covert the existing content to a new set of styles in order to modify the visual design of everything automatically. (Is there a better way to "import styles"?)

Has anyone had the same problem, or does anyone know what might be causing this? Workaround?

thanks,
Kyle
