About copying separate styles from one document to another:

Word 3.0 and 4.0 have always had the ability of copying one or more
separate styles from one document to another.

The procedure is simple, open the document from which you want to copy
the styles as a normal document.  Select one or more paragraphs that
have the styles you want to copy.  Copy them to the clipboard, and
paste them into the document you want the new styles in.

There is a caveat though.  If there is a style in the new document
with the same name, its formatting is replaced by the one pasted in.
This also presents a bug if there are paragraphs having modifications
based on that style, as they default back to the raw style.  For
example, a normal paragraph with different indents may revert back to
being normal.

The Word 4.0 User's Guide describes the procedure rather explicitely.
