How to import styles from one document to another in Word

Author Sun Last modified

If you have a set of carefully constructed styles in one document and want to apply these same styles to other documents, you can import them. This tutorial will guide you on how to import styles from one document to another in Microsoft Word.

  1. Open the Word document you want to import styles into. Then go to "File" > "Options" > "Customize Ribbon" to add the "Developer" tab under the "Main Tabs" section.
    The Developer option in the Word Options
  2. Click "Document Template" under the "Developer" tab.
    Document Template button on the ribbon
  3. The Templates and Add-ins dialog will appear. Click "Organizer".
    Organizer button in the Templates and Add-ins dialog
  4. In the Organizer dialog box, click "Close File" in the right pane to disconnect the currently open file. The button will then change to "Open File", allowing you to browse and select a different document.
    Organizer dialog box
  5. Click "Open File" and select the document you want to import styles from. Then click "Open".
    Open window
    Tip: You can search for the file using format filters by clicking "A", or type the file name directly into the "File name" box for a quicker search.
  6. After opening the document, select the styles from the right box and click "Copy" to move them to the left box.

    Notes:

    • The direction of the Copy button arrow indicates the destination. Styles can be copied in both directions. (Use "Ctrl + click" or "Shift + click" to select multiple styles.)
    • You can also delete or rename styles.
    • A description of the selected style will appear below the left box.
  7. After copying the desired styles, click "Close" to finish importing.
