From styles menu: load styles
... 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.

I'm not sure why this is necessary: a little experimentation confirms my impression that simply copying and pasting material from one document to another automatically carries with it necessary styles.

here a little experimentation confirms my impression the styles are not carried over. bit of a hurry now but I'll have a deeper look later; most likely I'm missing some special circumstance. weird.

I'm at 4.1.1.

Just to confirm my experience (in version 4.1.2 under Windows):

I created a new text document with new character, paragraph, and page styles and saved it as .odt. I even closed OpenOffice. Now I reopened the document, selected all, and copied and pasted into a new document. The new document showed all three custom styles. (A manual page break was not carried over, which confused the issue slightly, but the styles were all there.)
