When you used the Reset Default Template > Text Document, you
did exactly that. You reset the Default Template back to what it was
before you made the change. That is you set the Default Template back
to 57.6 points from the 21.6 points you had just set.
If you are using Windows, you should probably exit the
Quickstarter in the System Tray (to the left of the clock).
Use File > Templates > Organize again. Find jjj_default.ott. Right
click this file and select Set as Default Template. Click OK.
