Importing Styles from Another Document
When you import a document from Microsoft Word, any styles it contains are imported
into the Pages document and can then be used the same way you use any other styles
created within Pages.
You can import styles that have already been defined in another Pages document
without importing the document’s content.
To import styles from a Pages document:
1 Choose Format > Import Styles.
2 Select the document that contains the styles you want to import, and then click Open.
