Hello,
Does anybody know how do I import styles from one OpenDocument to
another using OpenOffice ?
Or better yet, how do I share them ?
These are various documents and all of them have to have the same
style. A template won't do it, the documents already exist and the
styles get improved.
Thank you.

OOo isn't designed to do what you seem to want to do

You can use the File -> Template dialog to copy styles from one
document to another, but this is a manual process.

Your best bet would seem to be templates, with these provisos: all
docs must use the same templates, and only one. All docs must be able
to use the same styles without exception - this leads to an explosion
of styles if you are not careful.

When updating the styles for a document, you really have to edit the
template and then reload the document (File -> Reload) to get the
styles used. I know of no way to change the styles in a document then
have those changes easily propagate back to the template without a
great deal of manual intervention.
