I don't use Writer very often, I am a Calc kind of guy, but when I do I use
styles. Just for once I found that I needed to write two documents at the
same day and I almost immediately ran into problems:

First of all, I am not happy with those predefined styles, such as
"standard", "brödtext", "överskrift 1", "överskrift 2", "citat" etc. Yes, I use the Swedish version of OpenOffice.org 1.1.5. Unlike OpenOffice.org 2.0, I can't switch to English and back again by just selecting something in the Tools -> Options dialog, so I really don't know what those styles are called
in English, but really, does it really matter..?

I guess that "standard" is named "standard" or "default" in English anyway.

Since I am not happy with most of the settings I found it to be easiest to
just change the predefined styles to what I need them to be like and then
just continue typing. So I wrote my document and saved it. Now I wanted to
write the next one, using the styles I've just modified. I was very
surprised when I found that the modified styles wasn't modified any longer.
So how do I make OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 to remember that I modified its
predefined styles?

I think the short answer is to modify your styles and then save the document as a template. If you want them to be the defaults that you always get when you start a new document, then make your new template the default template.

The setting of a template file as the default is done in Files -> Templates -> Organize. Select your template and then in the "Commands" drop list choose "Set As Default Template".
