Save the source Writer document, or a document with the styles in that document, as a template. Then go to Styles > Load Styles... in the destination Writer document and select the template saved from the source document. The styles from the source document should then be available in the destination document.

It's been a over year, but for some reason this post pops up as the top result. David is correct, but the reason nothing changed might be because "Overwrite" in the Load Styles from Template window weren't selected. You also may need to go to File>Templates>Edit Templates... and edit the style in the .ott file and then re-load it Styles>Load Styles from Template.

If you edited Heading 2 in the styled document, you'll need to click Overwrite to get it to overwrite Heading 2 in the destination document.

I also selected "Page" and voila, the size and margins of the destination document changed as well.
