Creating a template document
When you create a new document, it is a copy of a template document. Creating a new template document is an easy way to customize your documents. For example, you can customize a template by adding objects to it, changing the color or changing the various options such as font size.

Tips
 You can alter many settings for your new template document. Say you wish 
 to change the default font face and size—select the Text 
 Tool, then select a new font. As you have no text selected you will 
 be prompted to make "the font typeface attribute a current text attribute". 
 Click Set and that font will 
 now be the default for that template. Repeat for font size, colors and 
 anything else you wish to make as the default attributes in your new template.
