    A temporary solution is to edit the content store manually. All you need to do is create the styles in the new environments, and then copy a specific string over from one server to the other.

    This short database query will guide you:

    SELECT P3.VALUE AS LABEL,

    N.NAME AS REF_NAME,

    P89.*

    FROM

    dbo.CMOBJECTS O

    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CMCLASSES C ON O.CLASSID = C.CLASSID

    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CMOBJNAMES N ON O.CMID = N.CMID AND N.ISDEFAULT = 1

    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CMOBJPROPS3 P3 ON O.CMID = P3.CMID AND P3.PROPNAME = 'ScreenTip'

    LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.CMOBJPROPS89 P89 ON O.CMID = P89.CMID

    WHERE

    C.CLASSID = 263

    The string is contained in dbo.CMOBJPROPS89.CONTENT.
