How can I get a custom number scheme imported from another document to stick in the Style Gallery?

I have  imported a custom numbering  scheme  from a document into  the normal.dot template in Word  2016. When I open a new blank document,  I see my imported scheme in the  Style Pane but when I click the drop down arrow next to it and choose Add to Style Gallery, it will add it to the Style Gallery for only that document. When I open another new, blank document my imported style is  no longer in the Style Gallery. Can I get it to stay in the Style  Gallery  without having to get it from  the style pane?

Open Normal.dotm in Word, then add the style(s) to the Style Gallery. Save and close Normal.dotm, then test by creating a new document.

i like to open the document containing the styles and use the Styles pane
at the bottom on the Styles pane, select Manage Styles then select Import/Export.
you can now select the styles in question on the RHS & add them directly to Normal.dotm styles on the LHS:

All were helpful but Eric Fletcher let me  know that List Styles  need to be done differently.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
