All goood ideas – David, when I create a new InDesign document, there are no character styles in the flyout panel. However, when I open any of the previously created newsletter documents, ALL the character styles from ALL of the previous newsletters are in there. So maybe I should take one of those older newsletters, clear out all the actual “content”, but leave the character styles, save it with a new name, move that to the new computer, and then proceed as you suggested? That will get me started anyway. However I will have to do as Eugene suggests in order to have access to all of the old newsletters in full.
