      Hey all – long time forum skulker, first time poster…

      I was wondering if there's a way to load ALL the styles from one document to another. At the moment I'm loading Text Styles, then Master Pages, then Object Styles, etc etc. Is there an option somewhere to load everything at once?

      Thanks in anticipation!

      Hmmm good question. If I were doing this I might temporarily make a BOOK of the 2 documents and go to the sync options and choose which things I wanted to be synced. I am not aware of any load all styles option although it would be useful to me for sure.

      Don't know if anyone else has a better idea.

      Matt, you can also do this:

      1. Open your 'base' document.

      2. Delete all text and all pages but one. You can leave a single text box on the first page, filled with some placeholder text to show the paragraph styles, for easier identification.

      3. Save As — then select “Format” -> InDesign Template.

      4. When you need a new document, open the template — by default, ID creates an Untitled new document, containing all of the styles etc.

      5. If you find you are always changing the same thing in your new documents, you can edit the template by opening it and checking “Open Original” in the Open dialog.
