“So I double-clicked on the top of the page to “show the headers/footers” and then went to the “Design” tab like you described and clicked on that little green checkmark “Set as Default”. Closed the program, then re-opened it (for others reading this, make sure you exit the program…don’t just click the red x button at the top of your document) – and voila! New default. I’m curious as to why this never was an issue on the windows version? Anyway, thanks for your solution!!!”
