Excel allows you to copy styles from one workbook to another, but refers to this procedure as merging. You might wish to do this when you are creating a new workbook that presents information similar to that contained in a different workbook.
To copy styles, follow these steps:
Figure 1. The Style dialog box.
Figure 2. The Merge Styles dialog box.
The styles are copied as you directed, and the merge is completed.

For easier and earlier understanding, the label of 'Merge...' in the 'Style' dialog box should be written 'Merge from'. Thank you.
