Copy MS Word Styles from one Document to Another 

Thank you. The explanation about NOT using the "Normal" template as the document to copy to was super helpful. I opened a blank document and saved it with a name for a new template. Then I used it for my styles to copy to document. Then I saved it as a template and went in and set all the new styles to "add to template". So now I have a template for future documents with all the styles set the same. Super helpful.

Brilliant explanation. Just watched some British guy who said that the only way to copy styles from one document to another was to copy them to the Normal Template, then go through another step to copy them from the Normal Template to the chosen document. What a waste of time compared to your process. I had initially tried your process, but got stuck when I went to open the second file and didn't realize that the reason no docs were showing up was because the file type was set to "Template." So having you point that out was what saved me from having to go through the two-step process the other guy had said was the "only" way to do what you did, and which I had wanted to do. While his workflow is fine if you want to have certain custome styles available for new and all documents, your workflow was easier to simply copy styles from one doc to another, which was my goal. Thank you so much.

Extremely helpful, thank you. I was doing my nut trying to sort this one but you made it beautifully clear.

At 3:46 you say "close that." You point to Close File but eventually click the Close option at the bottom. It would interesting to discuss why you should (or should not) select the Close File option that appears. If reading the screen from top to bottom the Close File option is very tempting and would be the first one you would see.

I tried this and it is great except for copying Table Styles over. In my case I want to export a table style to another document, I followed your example but the table style didn't transfer across. Do you know how I can export a table style?...not sure if you still read or respond to these comments, any advice would be great. Thanks.

Didn't work for me. Word didn't offer me anything under 'styles available in,' so I wan't able to open the target document.

Thank you so much for this very well-explained help topic.
