Is there a way to have a set of paragraph styles load automatically for each new document? Or can you add paragraph styles to CC libraries to load automatically?
Thanks,

To have the styles in newly created documents
Set up all of the styles in a document (making sure that none of them are based on [Basic Paragraph]; save and close the document. Then, with no documents open, go to the menu of the Paragraph Style pallet, and choose Load All Text Styles.
Navigate to your setup document, select it to import the styles from it. You will get a dialog that allows you to chose which styles to import.
You can use the same proceedure inside an existing document to bring

Thank you @SJRiegel !
Is there anyway to have them load automatically vs loading them for each new document?

If you create styles without having any documents open, the new documents will have these styles (but not the existing documents).

@jmlevy YES! That is what I'd like. How do I create the styles without any documents open?

Just open the paragraph styles panel and create the styles you want.

"Just open the paragraph styles panel and create the styles you want."
Well, with no document open, go to the Paragraph Styles panel and use the option "Load All Text Styles…".
You can do that from a document or even an IDML file that contains the styles.
