        On freshly-installed Writer, A ‘New’ writer document has no template,
according to File>Properties>Template: blank. In fact, the document starts with
a nameless template which has many styles, including the so-called Default
Paragraph Style, which is no more ‘default’ than the others.
        The nameless template will serve as default template until User defines
her|his own (File>templates>Manage; right-click any template, choose
Set_as_Default). User could set this new default template to open with any
style, eg, Heading1 if he|she often writes chapters in a book; would that make
Heading1 the new default style?
        In conclusion, there is a default template, but there is NO ‘default’
paragraph style. The so-called Default Paragraph Style can be renamed ‘Basic’
(because it serves as parent and grand-parent for many other styles), and
should not even have the misleading privilege to be first in an alphabetical
list of styles.
