The rules for copying outline styles between documents are very simple: If the style name of the source Outline Elements (copied) matches the style name in the destination (pasted) EXACTLY, the destination's style will be used. If not, the entire style will be “copied” over from the source document and created in the destination document. This means if you copy a “beat” from a document with ten Outline Styles to a document with one outline style, the “beat” style will be created. No other styles will be copied unless you actually copy over elements with that style (same as MS-Word).
