copy a style between documents?

If I create a paragraph style in an unstructured fm document, can I copy the style to another fm document?

    Most certainly. Use the Copy Special function to pick up any of a Paragraph, Character or Table Format in one document and then use Paste to apply it in another. Note: the style will come in an as an override and you need to add it to the appropriate Catalog using the corresponding Designer.

    Can't you use Import > Formats? Or does that only bring in the paragraph tag formatting & not the tag name itself? I forget since I never use it much ;>)

    Edit > Copy Special > Paragraph Format = *a* tag

    File > Import > Formats = *all* tags
