Have you checked the OOo (OpenOffice.org) help menu? For page defaults Search the help function for: default templates For automatic numbering search the help function for: automatic bullets You appear to be using manual formatting, as opposed to OOo's powerful styles function. This is equivalent to owning a high powered sports car and using a horse to pull it. I would recommend you read the user manual: http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html specifically "Ch13 - Working with Styles". You have posted to the OOo discuss list, but the best place to ask questions is the OOo users list (see my signature for info). Hope this helps.
