transferring line from reel to reel

is it ok to take line off one reel and put it on another
only reason for asking is a i have new line on a reel i would like to use on another reel..would there be any issues with the line being formed to the reel its on perhaps?
 
as long as it's not to old or damaged, then change it, used to do it all the time when we were kids and money was tight, but now i just put new on.
 
wont do any harm at all, just make sure it comes off the donor spool the right way.
(anti-clockwise as you look at it)
 
I tend to fill my spools with 200 yards plus then end of season reverse the line to use other end
