Default cannot manually copy styles

I am using custom templates with many bulleted and
numbered lists. These styles lose their formatting often
and when I try to copy the styles to or from another
template to make corrections, the styles will not copy
correctly. The only way I can fix styles is to reformat
the style or styles in each document.

Are those styles losing "only" numbering-related formatting, or other
stuff (font, size, etc.)?

Have you setup your numbering according to the following specifications?

I have set up the numbering properly. I also lost bulleted
list styles. The styles keep the numbers and bullets but
lose the indents and tab settings. The big problem is
that I have to fix these styles in each document where
this happens because I cannot copy the styles from another
template.

Have you defined the indents and tab settings in Format | Numbering (*not*
Format | Paragraph)?
