Probably not. The problem is that row heights and column widths

But when a spreadsheet is opened all of the rows are at the same

row has a larger font.
... or in other ways.
Columns are all at the same width initially and change only when the
user changes the width from the default. The _initial_ sizes are
what should be set.
But this was my point. Although you are limiting yourself to a
different but common row height and a different but common column
width, in general a spreadsheet saved as a template would not have
that restriction. If the page style were to include all the row
heights and column widths (as well as details of merged cells and so
on?), all relevant pages (*not sheets*) would have to duplicate that
format. That would be very complicated and I'm not sure it would be
welcome. Your need is simple but it seems to me that asking for this
to be part of pages styles creates a difficult complexity that is
unnecessary to satisfy it. I'm not disputing your desire.
By the way, there is one glitch when saving the template
spreadsheet. The rows and columns of the initial pages are set at
the custom settings. But then when you add pages the default
settings are used, not the settings of the template.
That's *sheets*, not pages, I think. A workaround for this is to
copy your designer sheet as much as required. Right-click on the
sheet's tab and use Move/Copy Sheet... to create sheet clones as required.
Would this be fixed when you set the template to be the default?
What happened when you tried?
