TextEdit styles -- saving, exchanging, updating

Hi,

I like the styles I can use in TextEdit as well as in DevonThink, they make the RTF documents I create or work on look more consistent. Of course, there are some drawbacks, but most of it is OK for me.

Now, here is my problem:

To stay consistent when working on my iBook and the Desktop I would like to copy the style sets I use on one machine to the other. Or store one style set for later re-use.

I have tried several low-level hacks etc., I even found the style set definition in a plist file, but changing the plist files directly did not work.

So I have a sample file with all styles, but clicking on each style and defining them new in the ruler is a terrible work.

Has anybody an idea how I can save and exchange my carefully designed styles in a reasonably simple way?

Thanks,
Maria
