Question Editing the default style of my reference list

Hi there!


New to the forums, so apologies if I posted this at the wrong place, but I was wondering if it were possible to change the default layout of the bibliography/reference list.
Instead of it using Calibri size 11 I'd much prefer Times New Roman size 12 for example.
Currently every time I update my reference list it automatically edits it back to the default format, which gets rather annoying when writing hefty papers.

All I have been able to find so far are these options:


However, I'd much prefer something like this:



Is this in any way possible?

Insert the building block into the document. Select the inserted text and change the format as required, then while it is still selected Press ALT+F3 and save it back to the same gallery with the same name - overwriting the original at the prompt.

I don't think it is the building block that needs to change.

IMO, you need to edit the styles in the template that you are using to create the document where you plan to insert the BB. In the Modify Style dialog you posted, there is an option near the bottom to change the style in the template (New documents based on this template). Once the template holds the right style attributes, the new documents created from it should show those elements the way you want them.
