Description
Since emptyTemplates/template.docx has paper format US letter this format is always applied to new documents and has to be changed manually if you have a different locale.
A solution could be to have emptyTemplates containing
document.dotxspreadsheet.xltx- ...
to automatically have the proper paper format applied for new documents according to the locale.
This would be just like the template files in odf format. In my understanding this should be possible since https://github.com/nextcloud/richdocuments/pull/3059

Research direction
Start by reviewing emptyTemplates/template.docx and the approach described in pull request 3059, then compare it with the existing ODF template files. The work is complete when OOXML templates such as document.dotx and spreadsheet.xltx apply the appropriate locale-specific paper format to new documents.
