There's a good (more comprehensive) solution on the official help site: http://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Changing_the_Default_Template

To Create a Default Template

1. Create a document and the content and formatting styles that you want.
2. Choose File - Templates - Save.
3. In the New Template box, type a name for the new template.
4. In the Categories list, select "My Templates", and then click OK.
5. Choose File - Templates - Organize.
6. In the Templates list, double-click the "My Templates" folder.
7. Right-click the template that you created, and choose Set as Default Template.
8. Click Close.

To Reset the Default Template

1. Choose File - Templates - Organize.
2. Right-click a text file in any of the two lists, choose Reset Default Template - Text Document.
3. Click Close.

In my libreoffice Writer the dafault font color isn't the black, but a dark grey.

How can I set the black as default color?

My libreoffice writer doesn't have the black as default color of the font. So I have to choose it manually, why? What can I do to have the black as default color?

Don't change your default font to Arial. According to Wikipedia, it is "a proprietary typeface to which Monotype Imaging owns all rights, including copyright, design and trademark rights." I suggest you use the font Arimo instead. All its letters are the same widths as Arial's, and it is free software, released under the SIL Open Font License.

Does anyone know how to do this in LO 4? I used to use the answer in the top reply from visctrix but that option does not appear to be there and I have not been successful in adding the menu option in Writer. I really don't like Times New Roman and my ability to change the default is what has been keeping me from upgrading to 4 on all of my machines. Any help would be appreciated.

As stated above... Not possible.
