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
