Can I permanently change the text styles in Pages?

I'm trying to change my text styles in Pages so that for every new document I open, the "Title" formatting is the same, the "Body" formatting is the same, etc. So that I know I have consistency across my documents so long as I use the same text style. Is there a way to do this?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Open a blank template. Change the paragraph and character styles to suit your need. Save the this Pages document into Documents, and as part of its name, you might add _tplate.pages. With the document still open, now you can choose File menu ▸ Save as Template… as a new custom template.


There is a setting in Pages Preferences : General to Use Template: — and if you set it to use this newly created template, every launch of Pages will use that template by default, unless you expressly choose File menu ▸ New, or some other specific document name, or double-clicked document icon.
