Re: [libreoffice-users] keeping styles up-to-date

I would look to set and save all the styles you want in one document
then save that as a template.

If you import any text (Via Edit > Paste or Insert > Document) then
highlight that text and clear formatting (from the styles drop down)
before applying a style to it.
