Hi,

Well, kind of.

There are default templates for different document types - and yes
styles are maintained in a document and (this is the important point to
your queston) in the template the document is based on.


So - if you want to make a new style available beyond just the document
it is added to, you need to add it to your default template - this way
any new documents will pick up the new style. NOTE - this will not make
it available to existing documents, only new documents going forward.

As a starting reference point you may want to take a quick look here:

I hope that helps and don't hesitate to follow up with more questions.

Best wishes,
