Hi Julian,

I create a new document, and then want to apply the formatting specified in one 
of my templates.

If I select Format - Styles and formatting, I'd like to apply the settings in 
the template, but they don't show up in that window [it's just a bunch of 
canned default page styles].  Load Style isn't very intuitive.  Is there an 
easy trick?


(1)
Open you new document an write some dummy text.
If your template is not registered, open the template too.
Goto File > Templates > Organize.
Select your Template in the left field. First choose the type "Templates" for registered templates or "Documents", if you template is not registered.
Select your document in the right field.
These are actually tree views. Double click to open the branches, till you see the list of styles. Drag the desired style from the left to the right *while pressing the Ctrl-key*. The icon must get a +, otherwise you move the style !

(2)
Use "Load Styles" from the Style&Formatting dialog.
Mark the kind of styles you want to import.
Click button "From file" and select your template.

(3)
Generate the new document from the template.

Kind regards
Regina
