Default Format docs from existing Files

You can use the Organizer to copy styles from one document to another.
To get to the Organizer, press Alt+F8 to open the Macros dialog and
click the Organizer button.

Once the styles have been copied to the plain text document, you need
to apply the styles to the appropriate parts of the text.

Is there an easy way to use an existing document file to format a current
file? I have some plain text files that I would like to match an existing
document file.

TIA
