				When you open a document with open office, it aligns to the left by default.  Is there some way to make it align right or center?  I couldnt find a way, but I figured some of you guys have been using it for awhile and might know.

				Uh, click the 'Centered' or 'Align right' button? Is this a trick question?

				Or, alternatively, pick Format > Alignment from the menu.

				I know you can click the align button when you open a document, but I was asking if you can change the default setting so it will open to align right automatically

				If the document has been created and aligned to the left, it's not the software's job to automatically re-interpret the way the author intended it to display.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the question. Do you want right-align selected by default when you start on a blank document? If so, set it how you want and overwrite the default template.

				yes I want it to default to right align when opening a new document.
Do I have to open a document and click the right align tab or can I make it align right by default?

				Right, that was sort of non-obvious. Foo's suggestion of overriding the default template is the way to go.

Roughly the same process on all operating systems I think
