Styles can go from template to template, document to template, template to
document, or document to document using the Organizer. You need to change
which document/template is open in the dialog box. Once you have selected
the styles being copied you should click on the copy button three times
(overwriting existing styles if needed) to maintain links between styles
being copied. See http://addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm.
