Message: [QUOTE="Mister.Fred.Ma, post: 5562835"] I have two unrelated documents, the first is a lengthy series of notes from a colleague, and a 2nd which is a report I'm writing up. I'd like to transplant the notes into my report. However, each document is unaware of the paragraph style definitions in the other document. Some style names exist in both documents, even though their settings and usage are not necessarily related. If I simply cut and paste the notes into my report, the format is really messed up, and it is manually very intensive to go through each paragraph, check what it looked like in the original notes, and apply a suitable style from my report document. It would be much preferable for the notes to be in their original format, then I can recognize immediately what each paragraph should look like, and perhaps there is still some way for me to apply the suitable style from my report document. I'm not sure how this can be done, however. The only way for the format to be unmessed- up is for me to keep the notes in its original doc file, in which case I don't have access to the styles in my report document. I thought that I might ask for a way to import selected styles from the report document into the notes document and hopefully there won't be a collision in style names. Can anyone suggest how people normally merge 2 documents with unrelated style definitions? [/QUOTE]
