Hi :)
Is it possible to completely disable all the styles in a master
document so that the ones from the sub-document do remain untouched?

That should not be necessary if you follow the instructions for creating a master document. First you create a template which has all the styles defined in it. Then the master document and all subdocuments are created from this template. The only problem is that if changes to any style becomes necessary, I've not found any way to make the changes in one place and have them take effect in all files which were alreated created before the changes were made. Up to now, I've had to make such changes in the template as well as in each file which has already been created from the template.

Arrgh, that approach sounds like it might be worth creating a new
"master document" and then
1.  import the existing master document into that (in the way Cley described)
2.  go into styles and modify the important ones to rename them

3.  use Cley's advice to import the styles from the first sub-document
4.  again rename the important changed styles

5  repeat 3&4 for each sub-document

This almost certainly wont be perfect first time so don't aim to do to
much or be too perfect, just treat it as a test-run to find out which
styles need to be renamed.

Is there some reason why the master document does not render the
sub-documents in the same was as they are rendered when opened separately?

One possibility is that there is a style conflict/override.
Master document's styles override sub-document's. If you have the same
stule name in both the master document and the sub document, you will see
the master document's version only.

This is usually a neat feature (you can produce various output style for
the same sub-document), but might be a bit confusing. Even more confusing
is that this include page styles too, and that point is easily overlooked.

If you simply want all styles in the master document to be the same as in a
sub-document, you can try this: open the master document, open the format
list if not already open. In the "style and format" toolbar (or sidebar),
there is a button in the top-right corner (probably called "new style from
selection" in english). Click it, and select "load styles", then "from a
file", then select one of your sub-document.
These step should replace all styles in the master document with the one
in the sub-document. If this does fix your issue, remember to change only
styles in the master document to keep all of them "in sync".

Of course, if that's not the issue at hand, feel free to dismiss my little
rant :)
