Curious question about "Styles"

users
#1

I can create a document and thereby create a style for use in it.

I can then, after saving it, create another document and load those
styles in for use in this new document.

I assume I'm doing this wrong but it *seems* that I can create a "List"
type in that first document but it seems that I *cannot* load those
styles into the second document.

Am I missing something?

In 'Styles and Formatting' (F11), the top left "New Style" button has a Load Styles option.
The next window has a "From File' option.

Does that help?

My understanding is the style you created resides in the first document. With both documents open you can copy the style to the second document.
If you copy the new style to the default document (you may need to create your own default document in templates) then that style will be available in all new documents.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

That's what I was doing and it works for everything BUT the list styles.
(Or so it seems.)

You need to start with the paragraph style section selected. In the load style dialog itself you can check to only load numbering. The loaded numbering styles are then available in the list section.
