When you save as a template (Shift+F11), all your styles are saved with it. So first modify or create your styles, then save as template. The template will also include all your contents, so if you want to create a new template from an existing document, you need to remove everything that you don't want in your template. Just don't forget to undo or quit without saving, otherwise you will lose your contents… > > > > To assign a particular style to a page, give that page the focus, go to > the Format menu and select Styles and Formatting.

Make sure all the styles you need are there, otherwise create them. Save the template. An easy way to do that is Shift+F11. Now (I'm doing this in Calc, I think the procedure is the same for Impress): File → Template → Organise… → Double click ”My templates” → Right click the template you want to use as the default template → Define as default template → Close. I think there are other ways to do it as well. > > I'm used to styles in the context of CSS for websites, where a style file > is referenced explicitly in the page file header.
