Interesting. That was mostly what I was looking for, how to move a new template into default. However, just to make sure I understand it, I cannot apply this 'template' to existing documents? So, for instance, I export a table from my database to view in Calc, it will not use this format.
I tried this with a csv I had already been working on in LO, and can verify that the new template did not get applied. I also created a csv with a text editor, then opened it in Calc, and it still not following the new default. Shame.

Is there something I am missing? Hi, Well, kind of. There are default templates for different document types - and yes styles are maintained in a document and (this is the important point to your queston) in the template the document is based on. So - if you want to make a new style available beyond just the document it is added to, you need to add it to your default template - this way any new documents will pick up the new style. NOTE - this will not make it available to existing documents, only new documents going forward. As a starting reference point you may want to take a quick look here: http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Change_default_template I hope that helps and don't hesitate to follow up with more questions.
