From styles menu: load styles

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.)

there must be some special condition differing between your and my
setup.
I may try to replicate your experiment exactly but not right this
moment; maybe tomorrow.
I did repeat my experiment:
(a) open new document (OpenOffice 4.1.1 under Linux (Debian));
(b) check default style and applied style: just says 'default' and
no 'applied styles'
(c) take heavily formatted document and copy and paste a bit from it
into the 'virgin' document.
(d) check default style and applied style: same as in (b); plus
immediately obvious since the formatted document has 1.5 line spacing
while 'virgin' is single-spaced.
there are differences between your experiment and mine; wouldn't have
thought they'd make a difference (e.g. saying the virgin document
first) but will play again tomorrow and see. (main obvious difference,
of course, is the version of OO.)
