Change default StyleSheet

Just a suggestion: I've heard a few academics gripe that undergrads new to using ChemDraw use the default stylesheet, which some people think is as aesthetically pleasing as eg: the ACS Document 1996 stylesheet. I personally use one made by Paul Docherty who used to have a blog called Totally Synthetic. I can't attach it but if you want inspiration, it's the top link if you click "ChemDraw Tools" on this page! https://supersciencegrl.co.uk/links/#Writing-Presentation-Tools

    I agree. The default stylesheet is hideous.

    Bonds are too long, text is too small. It is as painful to read as double-spaced text.

    I would like ChemDraw to keep the user's preferred default stylesheet setting. I prefer ACS Document 1996 Sheetstyle and everytime I open a new ChemDraw document I have to manually change it.
