I feel the need to tell you why I do not use your product though it is

all three of my computers. You see I write on fanfiction.net and they
offer
and advise using Open Office. The problem I found with it is a personal
one
but I'm sure others would feel the same about it.
I start a project and change all the settings to be what I want them to.
These settings are usually ones I use on a regular if not daily basis.
Finish that project save it, and then perhaps start another. But I have
to
change all the settings again because they do not save into the program.
There are some settings that can be saved, but I don't like to write in
"pages" and have to change the view each time. I also get really
annoyed by
the word suggestion and have to turn it off EVERY time I use the
program.
I don't want to have to set things up each time. I want to just open
it up
and be able to use it immediately. Wordpad may not have as many features
but it allows me to do that.
So until I find something that does allow me to have it the way I want
it,
allowing me to just open in the program and write in a manner that is
comfortable for me, I will continue with it.

I suggest that you learn how to use styles (look them up in the online
help) and set up a template document with all the styles you want
already defined as you like them. Then create new documents from this
template, and you won't have to reset anything. But you must understand
how styles and templates work first, a one-time set-up cost that will
make you more productive overall.

Ok as a very proper fashion of answering doubts I will actually answer the
questions and the steps to get this to work for you.
You need to modify your default template, the default template is what in
word you will know as the Normal.dot. So the way to do this in
openoffice.org is simple, you do your setup then go to Files > Templates >
Save...
Put any name you need and save it. Then go to File > Template > Organize
and look for your timeplate on the 'My Templates' directory.
Left click and mark it as default.
Then make a test and see if this worked.
