Changing defaults in WordPad

How can I change the default line spacing and paragraph spacing in WordPad?  I make changes in the menu bars, but the changes are lost when WordPad is closed and I have to reset the spacing when I open a new WordPad window.  For that matter, how can I also change the default font and size?  Thanks.

I found a semi-workaround.  I made the changes I wanted and then saved a new default "document.rtf".  I then changed that document's properties to open with WordPad instead of Word and made it read-only.  I then changed WordPad's icon path to the new document.  Now, when I click on the WordPad icon the new default document opens with *most* of the changes I made.  The line and paragraph spacing are retained, but the font keep switching back to Calibri.  Oh, well.  Half a loaf is better than none!
