Default Applying Styles

My firm had been using WordPerfect for years. In the last year we converted
to Word 2007, and I have been converting my WordPerfect templates to Word
2007 templates.

Unfortunately, in doing my conversions I did not realize that my default
style for new documents was not being carried over into the new templates.
Therefore, when I got to paste from one document to another the style applied
to the pasted item is screwed up (unless I select to paste "special" and past
unformatted text). What's even more frustrating is that we do a lot of
envelopes directly from the addresses stored in the file, but every time that
I reset the style on the main document, the envelope mailing address still
comes up in some other style that requires changing multiple settings to get
what should be a pretty standard style appearance that I use on new documents.

Anyone know how to import the styles from another document, or know how to
wipe out the document's existing style and therefore use the defaults I have
set? I would prefer not to have to cut and paste every template into a new
Word document as unformatted text and then go through it reformatting it
again.

Thanks!
