Textstyle duplicates by pasting material

[Medm]

I appreciate the possibility of importing textstyles. But there's an odd behaviour when pasting material containing textstyles identical to existing ones: Even if I copy and paste text material from the same document from which I have imported the styles before, Publisher creates duplicates of the styles (Style-a 1, Style-a 2...). Is this normal behaviour or do I overlook something? Missing the function to replace styles when deleting them (?), cleaning up the styles is tedious work...

It is difficult for me to understand why a programmer/designer would handle the incoming duplicate style by creating a new style and renaming it as it is copied to another document that already has that exact same-named style. Is there some rationale or useful purpose that I'm missing here?

Thank you, Lee, for the quick reply. (By me, you can delete this thread. German users may find the tag "textstyle" useful in the linked one;)
