Add Your Paragraph and Character Styles to All New InDesign Documents Automatically

Got paragraph and character styles you use frequently? Maybe you took our advice and created basic, global character styles for bold, italic, bold-italic, and regular. Save yourself some serious time loading your commonly used styles into new documents—make them part of the default for all new documents.

Open InDesign (or InCopy) but don’t open a document. From the flyout menu on the Paragraph Styles or Character Styles panel choose the Load All Text Styles command. You’ll be prompted to find a document containing the desired styles. Find and select that, and then pick the styles you want. When they import to the Paragraph Styles and/or Character Styles panels, with no documents opened, those style become available by default for all new documents you create.
