I wasn't aware of this resource! fact is, I had installed an extension
called 'template-changer' for a similar purpose but this 'style
import' utility is built-in and seems to work smoothly.
I didn't find anything called 'import' but the 'load styles' dialogue
seemed to work; when I looked at the styles list in the new document,
I found the styles I had devised in the source document.
great!
Anyway, that’s the way I do it. I don’t like the “Select everything
and delete it” option, because I did that once. Screwed up and chose
to save the file. It did what I told it, and saved an empty doc over
my finished report. Fortunately, I use a Mac with a Time Machine
backup, so I didn’t lose it all. But it was--at least momentarily--a
heart-stopper.

definitely a hazard when juggling files.
