Actually I was talking about making your document the new Default template. You build your template using default styles or your own and they stay as part of the template and you will find this approach is easy. What is good about this is that it is described in Help under Contents > Index > Search term > default documents. Paragraph and character default styles cannot be changed except in the current document which is why you should think in terms of templates. For an example see on of the ones we use in documentation ( http://documentation.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList ) -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
