Change default settings for new documents on Android

On Android, you cannot change the default settings for new documents, but you can create your own template with custom formatting settings such as:

  • Font settings: size, color, styles
  • Paragraph settings
  • Page settings: page size and orientation, margins, page color

In OfficeSuite Documents (Android), you can create a template by saving a document as a .dotx file.

  1. Open or create your document.
  2. On the Save as dialog, select Template.

Use the template as a baseline to create multiple .docx documents with the same formatting. 

To update your template, open the file, make the changes you want, and then save the template.
