Save default page orientation in InDesign CS6

Question

Hi,I still use InDesign CS6, and I have a question regarding starting new documents. I have sometimes been searching for a solution on Internet, but haven't succeeded.Sometimes when I create a new document and choose Landscape orientation, it is automatically saved as default, so that next time I want to create a new document, the Landscape orientation is chosen automatically. But next time, when I create a document in Portrait orientation, it is NOT saved as default. Why is that? How can I save/keep my preferred orientation as default?

When you make a new document, you can chose your favorite settings, then click Save Preset in the right column (under OK and Cancel) of the New > Document dialog box and then load that preset the next time you need Landscape.

It's possible that you can also close all open files and then set the default in Document Setup, but that isn't how we do it in modern versions and I can't test this on CS6.

It depends on when you made the orientation change. e.g If you did it with no document open, then any New document will assume those specifications going forward.
