Excel Spreadsheets.

I’m no expert on these but it’s driving nails into me when I open a new one up to create something.

My PC opens it with Calibri font size 11. I want Arial font size 12.

Now I know how to change it each time but is there a way to change the whole system so it opens up each new one in the Font I want please?

Tom - i haven't got Windows open in front of me but if you open any of the office apps and go to "file / options" is there a setting in there that will do what you want ?

Try

On the Excel menu, click Preferences.Under Authoring, click General.In the Default font and Font size boxes, select a new font and font size.Click OK. ...Close and restart Excel.

Not sure if it will work.
