Loading styles from another document
Styles appear only in the document in which you create them. However, its easy to load, or import, styles from other InDesign documents. Another Sonata Cycles document includes a couple of sidebar styles that will work well for the sidebars in this newsletter. Instead of re-creating these styles, youll load the styles from the other document and apply them to text in the newsletter.
