Hello - a few months ago I exported an InDesign file as a PNG and since then, the file type will always default to PNG for that particular template (not the case for others). I always need to export it as JPEG not PNG for these particular designs. I can't find any way to change the default export setting. I know I can change it in the drop down, I just wish it would default to JPEG, the file type I use 20 times a day...is there any way to fix this?

Typically for a given (.indd) file, the last-chosen export format "sticks" and returns on subsequent Export dialog calls.
I'd try resetting preferences.

I'm not so sure John's answer is going to work. I think you may need to export to .idml and resave the template to get rid of the save info.

The stickiness of Exports came up the other day here:
A JPEG Export dialog can also be scripted. This could be assigned a key command:
var f = Folder.selectDialog("Save JPEG");
if (f != null) {
var n = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, File(f + "/" + n + ".jpg"), true)
}
