Just occurred to me that I should attempt the same thing in NeoOffice which is 
a slightly earlier ver (3.1.2).

NeoOffice, let me click save and exit, but the changes to the "defaults" did 
not save.  When I reopen in LO or NO, they are not saved.  

I also realized that I WAS able to save defaults for the text based fields 
(Memo and Varchar) but not for Integer, Date, or Numeric fields. I said I 
couldn't save for any of the fields I tried.
