Notes

• If both workbooks contain styles that have identical names, you must indicate whether you want to merge these styles. To replace the styles in the active workbook with the copied styles, click Yes. To keep the styles in the active workbook as they are, click No. You receive this message only once, regardless of the number of pairs of identical style names.
• When you move or copy a worksheet from one workbook to another workbook, all the styles that are used on that worksheet are also copied to that workbook. For more information, see Move or copy sheets.
