It's rare to see someone put that effort in to finding out and helping other people. Obviously there are a few people (such as Dan, Brian, Alex, Jay, Regina, hmmm, quite a few) and it's good to see someone possibly joining their ranks :) Nicely done!

Sorry about that Dan (and Brian)! I trust you don't mind if I repost your explanation of how to use templates? Anne - Perhaps you'll be able to adapt it to your situation. There's some help in the help file - use "defaults;fonts" as your search string. If that's not enough, maybe Dan (or anyone else) can help you. Or, I could be wrong about the solution.

Your template should appear under My Templates folder. If not, right click My Templates and select, Import Templates. Browse to where you saved your template, and select it. Now it should be visible. Now, right click your template. Select Set as Default. Close LO. Any time you open Writer, you will be using the template you have just created.
