There seems no simple way to do change the default templates
system-wide. When I last looked, the default templates were not stored
as documents but were generated by the programme binary.
Have a look at this thread on the forum for a prolonged discussion:

Thanks for fast answer Dan,
Actually my question was "how to make global template default one without
user intervention" - I am aware of global templates location. I would like to
make custom made writer and calc templates default templates for all users
without having each user going through "File->Templates->Organize..Set as
Default Template..." routine. Is there any property which regulates this?
I did try changing ooSetupFactoryTemplateFile property in
$OODIR/registry/modules/org/openoffice/Setup/Setup-writer.xcu (and
Setup-Calc.xcu) to "file:///<location of the template>" but it did not work.
Any ideas?
TIA

Hi ,
Is it possible to create "Global Default Template" for all users
on system? I would like all users on system to have specific
template(s) set as global (writer and calc). I know how to do it
for particular user (file->templates->organize->set as default) but
I would like to have this as global preference system wide in one
shot.
TIA
Yes, this is possible. If you are using Linux, they should be
located in ..../openoffice.org2.0/share/template/en-US. To move them
there you need to change the owner and group to root before placing
them there. (This requires using su in a Konsole window.)
Details: The .../ is the path to the openoffice.org2.0/ folder.
Unless you use the US verson of English, the "en-US" will be
something different with the first two letters being the language and
the last two letters the country.
