For more on setting the defaults, see

Note that the article is primarily targeted at Word 97-2003, but the
principles are pretty much the same for Word 2007.
The latter version has a new way to change the default paragraph settings,
though, namely the Set Defaults tab of the Manage Styles dialog box. To
display it: Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to show the Styles pane, and click the
Manage Styles button at the bottom.
