LibreOffice 3.6 Writer Guide - The Document Foundation Wiki

You can copy or move styles from one template or document to another in two ways:
• Using the Template Management dialog box.
• Loading styles from a template or document (see page 177).
Using the Template Management dialog box
To copy or move styles using the Template Management dialog box:
1) Click File > Templates > Organize.
2) At the bottom of the Template Management dialog box, choose either Templates or
Documents, as needed. For example, if you are copying styles between two documents,
both entries should say Documents.

3) To copy or move styles from a file not shown in the list, click the File button. Navigate to the
wanted file using the Open dialog box, select it and click Open. When you return to this
window, both lists show the selected file, as well as all the currently open documents.
4) Double-click on the name of the template or document and then double-click the Styles
icon to show the list of individual styles.
5) To copy a style, hold down the Control key and drag the name of the style from one list to
the other.
6) Repeat for each style you want to copy or move. When you are finished, click Close.
Caution If you do not hold down the Control key when dragging, the style will be moved
from one list to the other. The style will be deleted from the list you are dragging it
from.
