--- Comment #6 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Similar topic in bug 112697 for Impress.

We can
a) silently apply the target style (current situation)
b) silently copy/rename of source style ("Caption_1", for example)
c) show a dialog to resolve the conflict 

In the case of Writer, the goal of styles is to create a consistent document.
Therefore b) makes no sense to me. Showing a dialog would be a major nuisance
for most users, so maybe some kind of paste special option where all attributes
are taken from the source. In fact pasting as RTF does not work, likely since
we do not copy every single attribute.

My take: NAB, aka a).
