I found mine here: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA 2011\enu\Plotters\Plot Styles

I've now copied and pasted the file there. No, I haven't. Well I have edited the layout i.e. change paper size etc.

I think we are both wrong.
 
I just took a peek in Options > Files > Printer Support File Path > Plot Style Table Search Path and the path is much different than either one of us imagined.  You might want to do the same.  I would recommend putting your friend's ctb file where AutoCAD is already expecting to "see" it.  When AutoCAD went to 64-bit software they followed Microsoft's recommendations regarding folder structure.  The "old" paths do not appear to be used any more.  Sorry for the confusion.  I should have checked Options in the first place.

I'll be out in the field for a while so I must bid you goodbye.  I'll check back later.  Maybe someone else will jump in here and answer any further questions you may have.

Ah, thanks anyways John. I think I'll leave this for now, as it's a lot more complicated then I expected. I think I can achieve what I want by simply using the different layers and changing the properties to suit my needs. Again, thanks John.
