Did you right click on the "default" paragraph style and select 'Modify'?
Make the changes and click the OK button to close and save the changes?
Yes but after click ok and close the F11 window nothing happens :(
If so that should have changed the "default" used when starting a new
document. To use this style in an existing document you need to update the
document.
You made the changes, did they take? Right click on the "default" and
select modify. Are the values as you entered? The "default" styles are
used for new documents, existing documents have to be updated with the
changes.
To update the current document, click the "New Style from Selection" icon
on the upper right of the Styles and Formatting window.
but this then asks me to enter w new style name like as if im cr8ing a new
style but i dont want to do this i just want top change the current default
style indetnation :(
When you click on the icon you have three choices, "New Style from
Selection", "Update Style" and "Load Styles...". The first, as you have
seen wants to create a new style using a current selected text as a
base. The second updates the styles in an open document. The third
allow you to "copy" styles from a template or another document into the
current document.
Then click on the 'Update Style' menu item. That should then make the
needed changes to the document.
You missed this step. The styles used in a document are stored within
the archive as a separate file that defines the styles used within the
document, styles.xml is the file name. You have to use the "Update"
option above to change the settings in this file.
