can I export a list of defined ranges from 1 workbook to another ?

Not easily. You could write a macro to do it but that might be more work than
it is worth...

The Name Manager download might make the task a bit easier....

If you mean Named ranges, then if we have an active workbook with named
ranges and another open workbook called Book2:

Sub qwerty()
Dim n As Name
For Each n In ActiveWorkbook.Names
t1 = n.Name
t2 = n.RefersTo
Workbooks("Book2").Names.Add Name:=t1, RefersTo:=t2
Next
End Sub

This will only work if the sheet names are the same in both workbooks
