Isn't this what Styles & Formatting is designed for? Just type F11 and
right click on the style and modify it globally. You do it exactly the
same way in Writer.

ASIDE: Whenever someone says that OO.org didn't import and format a
document correctly, click on View / Nonprinting Characters (CRTL F10).
Nine times out of ten (I'd bet) the document was formated using tabs and
spaces just as one would have done if using a typewriter. These "hard"
characters force inappropriate on the new document.

Anyone who has prepped someone else's document for printing will be
shaking their head in agreement.
