What I need to know is how to define the default settings when i create a new page in Illustrator CS4 in this case. The biggest issue is when I create a new page it gives me what seems like 100 different swatches in the swatch pallet and i know that I can select unused colors and delete them but I would rather just start out with black and white and add colors as i need them since most of my work is done in spot colors not process builds. According to the "help" page you set this when you have no documents open . . . but for me that doesn't work all I have is a blank swatch pallet that I can't even add colors to . . .

The person who says it cannot be done
should not interrupt the person doing it. . . .

is it a 'workspace' issue? Open blank page, get palettes/menus how you want them, then go to 'window/ workspace/ save workspace'
If I understand the question, this may help...
