How do I keep my Format/Paragraph settings? For example: "keep with next" as
a default so the format doesn't keep changing to "Orphans" and the zero space
between words doesn't keep changing?

Word formats the text using styles. You create the styles to apply the
formatting you wish. Every unique paragraph type should have its own style.
The keep with next attribute if applied to all paragraphs would cause Word
to attempt to put all the paragraphs on the same page, which is clearly
impossible. It is normally used with (eg) heading styles to keep headings
with the first paragraph of the associated body text.
