First, as to your last question, you do not want to do this. You do not want the default to be to change the template. I don't know that it is possible, but I do know it is a bad idea.
Once a template is created, its styles are divorced from the normal template. If you want to transfer styles, you would want to copy them using
the Organizer. You can record a macro copying styles from a certain template to the current template. This concept is explored more in:
