Load Styles from Other Documents

Don't re-create character or paragraph styles when you can load them from another document. For example, go to the Character Styles palette's flyout menu (found under the Window menu under Type) and choose Load Character Styles. Then navigate to the document that contains the styles you need. You can choose to load just the character styles (or only the paragraph styles, if you're in the Paragraph Styles palette) or choose Load All Styles to load the document's character and paragraph styles while you're using either palette.
