One way to change the default would be in the Manage Styles dialog box. In the Styles pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S), click the Manage Styles icon and go to the Set Defaults tab. Specify the value you want for "Line Spacing" (= the spacing between text lines in a paragraph) as well as the value you want for "Spacing After" or "Spacing Before" (= the spacing added between paragraphs as you press Enter). Select "New documents based on this template" and click OK. The settings will be incorporated into your template and they will be used in future documents.
