[libreoffice-users] How do I change the default .ott in writer 4.0?

I used to have a standard format default document template that I had control over in LO 3.x. Now that I've installed 4.0, the default template is different and I want to use my own settings. How can I change the default template to match what I like? Thanks. MR -- For unsubscribe instruction
