2) In the Styles and Formatting window, click on the New Style from Selection

icon and then on Load Styles (see Figure 183).

3) In the Load Styles dialog box (Figure 184), find and select the template to copy

styles from. Click on the From File button if the styles you want are contained

in a text document rather than a template. In this case, a standard file

selection dialog box opens up, allowing you to select the desired document.

4) Select the check boxes for the types of styles to be copied. If you select

Overwrite, the styles being copied will replace any styles of the same names

in the target document.

5) Click OK to copy the styles.

Using the visible styles filters

At the bottom of the Styles and Formatting window, use the drop-down menu to select

a filtering criterion for the contents of the main body of the window. Normally, you

will find that only a handful of styles are needed in any given document, and it makes

sense to have only these styles shown.

So, at the beginning of the writing process, you may want to have access to all the

available styles (by selecting All Styles). However, as the document develops, it is

useful to reduce the size of the list displayed to only the styles already in use (by

selecting Applied Styles). If you work on a document where you want to apply

special-purpose styles only (such as those styles used in writing this user guide),

select instead Custom Styles. The Hierarchical Styles view is most useful when

modifying styles as it reveals which styles are linked together. This topic is discussed

in more detail in Chapter 7 (Working with Styles).

If you select the Paragraph Styles view in the Styles and Formatting window, the

drop-down menu contains many more filtering options so you can view, for example,

only Text Styles, Special Styles, and so on.

Drag-and-drop a selection to create a style

Another little known property of the Styles and Formatting window is the capability

of creating a new style with a simple drag-and-drop of a text selection into the Styles

and Formatting window.

1) Open the Styles and Formatting window.

2) Select the style category you are going to create (for example a character

style) using one of the five icons in the top left part of the window.
