Applying Styles
In Word, you cannot set a "default style" globally (if that's what you are
asking). Instead, what you can do is modify the appropriate style(s) in all
of your templates. Usually it suffices to modify the Normal style, which by
default is the based-on (parent) style for most other styles.

My firm had been using WordPerfect for years. In the last year we
converted
to Word 2007, and I have been converting my WordPerfect templates to Word
2007 templates.
Unfortunately, in doing my conversions I did not realize that my default
style for new documents was not being carried over into the new templates.
Therefore, when I got to paste from one document to another the style
applied
to the pasted item is screwed up (unless I select to paste "special" and
past
unformatted text). What's even more frustrating is that we do a lot of
envelopes directly from the addresses stored in the file, but every time
that
I reset the style on the main document, the envelope mailing address still
comes up in some other style that requires changing multiple settings to
get
what should be a pretty standard style appearance that I use on new
documents.
Anyone know how to import the styles from another document, or know how to
wipe out the document's existing style and therefore use the defaults I
have
set? I would prefer not to have to cut and paste every template into a
new
Word document as unformatted text and then go through it reformatting it
again.
Thanks!
