I have an old .dot file with a few dozen styles in it.
I need to place them into another .dot file that I received. Is there a better way to get them in there than manually recreating each style?
Copy Styles Between Templates Click the Home tab. Open the Styles pane. Click the Manage Styles button. Click Import/Export.
Double-click the file with the styles you want to copy. In the Organizer dialog box, click the style on the right you want to copy. Click Copy. If a dialog box appears asking if you want to replace the style, click Yes.
The styles covered in this article are located in the Styles gallery, a visual menu located on the Home tab. To apply a style, simply select the text you want to format, and then click the style you want in the Styles gallery. To learn more, see Apply a style to text in Word.
To export styles In the Style and Standard Editor, locate the style you want to export and then right-click and select Export. In the Export Style Definition dialog box, browse to a location and enter a name for the exported style.
There is a 'Style Organizer' tool within Word which will let you copy styles from one document to another if they are both open at once.
In Word 2007:
I can't remember what the option is in Word 2003. I think it was Tools -> Style Organizer or similar.
