You can check Help on creating a Template form or report.

But I prefer to create a skeletal report with all the
desired settings and then use Copy/Paste to create a new,
blank report and go from there.

Note, when creating the skeletal report Add each kind of
control, set their properties, and use the Format - Set
Control Defaults menu item, then delete these controls.
Now, when you add more controls later, they will pick up the
specified property settings.
 
The easiest solution is to create a template form or report and then
call it frmTemplate or rptTemplate. Anytime you want to create a new
form or report open this template in design view and then perform a
'Save As' saving the template with the name you want your new form or
report to be.
