Default Styles: [1] copying; [2] define-by-example

Hi people. Two questions.

1. This must be simple but it eludes me completely. When I define a
custom style and realize I want to be able to use it elsewhere, how do I
export it to another document or template?

2. Does Visio have an equivalent to Word's "Style by example"?
Meaning, you could manually format a shape and tell the program to make
those attributes become the style.

Thanks in advance.

Apply the style to a shape or master and copy that to another document.

I don't think there is any way to do define-by-example.
