Preferences doesn't seem to mention this.

How do I set a default page size? In fact how to I change the default settings
for a new document, like font, pointsize?
The easiest "user friendly" way to do this is to create your personal style
file
or style package with all the customizations that you need.

I just read in the Scheme developer manual, and tested it on my TeXmacs installation, that in order to automatically select a given style when starting a new document one can place this in the buffer initialization file my-init-buffer.scm (written for the article style):

(if (not (buffer-has-name? (current-buffer)))
    (begin (init-style "article")
           (buffer-pretend-saved (current-buffer))))

Combined with your answer, I think this is what non-null@use wants.

@non-null: if you need more details on how to put things together please write.
