Same
It's the same as with regular AbiWord. Here's an article on changing the default font, for instance:

The directory is just AbiWordPortable\App\AbiSuite2\templates instead.

I've tried that but after I have saved a new normal template, I've closed the program and opened it again and the default template remained as the same. The strange thing is that if I open the new normal template as a regular file it assumes all the changes that I have made.
Works fine

Well I've tried with English(USA) and Portuguese, and there is only one normal.awt in the AbiWordPortable\App\AbiSuite2\AbiWord briefcase.
I use windows xp.

Yes, is the one that I have mentioned to you. It has one normal.awt file and several other ones with different suffixes in the right place.

You said you were looking in:
AbiWordPortable\App\AbiSuite2\AbiWord
I said you need to look in:
AbiWordPortable\App\AbiSuite2\templates
If you edit the file for your locale (normal.awt if you're using US English *ONLY*... one of the others if you're using something else) it works fine.

Sorry, my mistake!
The directory is AbiWordPortable\App\AbiSuite2\templates and I've tried both ways in US English and in Portuguese and, as I've told you, when I opened a new document the default template remained the same, but if I opened the normal.awt file instead it assumed all the changes.
