Selection icon, and then click on Load Styles (see Figure 44).
3) Select the categories of styles to be copied. Select Overwrite if you want the styles being
copied to replace any styles of the same names in the document you are copying them
into.

5) Click OK to copy the styles. You will not see any change on screen.
Caution
If your document has a table of contents, and if you have used custom styles for
headings, the heading levels associated with outline levels in Tools > Outline
Numbering will revert to the defaults of Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on when you
load styles. You will need to change these back to your custom heading styles.
Deleting styles
You cannot remove (delete) any of LibreOffice’s predefined styles from a document or template,
even if they are not in use.
You can remove any user-defined (custom) styles; but before you do, you should make sure the
styles are not in use in the current document. If an unwanted style is in use, you will want to
replace it with a substitute style.
