Default Styles & Formatting

Can somebody tell me how to keep the same formatting.
I did have it but for some reason I cannot keep the same settings twice in a
row.
I like to have Clear formatting; Headings 1, 2, & 3 ; Normal; & whatever
bullets I am using at the time, that is all I need.
I have tried custom but it will not stay, as soon as I open a blank document
it goes to default and the fonts change size & type.
I hate changing the headings always and the normal font too!
Thanks for any help

Open your template for editing - presumably normal.dot - and format the
styles you use in the way you want them to appear. Save the template and
thereafter all new documents based on that template will appear the way you
have set them.

It is a hidden file (in recent versions) stored in the folder defined at
tools options file locations user templates. Steer to that folder and
open it.

Note that word.general is an orphan group and not hosted by Microsoft..
