Dear Ryan,
I have now done that but the same old default page opens when I open 
the application. Even if I select the templates dialogue and select 
nomal.awt I still get the orginal default format. This means I have 
to alter each page every time I open one.
It seems as if one can't create a changed default style. Is that true?
Best wishes,
David
