For anyone who has used other Microsoft applications, such as Word and PowerPoint, this section will be very straight forward.

19 Default Font, Font Size, and Font Style The default font of a blank workbook is generally CALIBRI. However, there are different versions of Excel and consequently, there are different default fonts. The default font size of a blank workbook is generally 11. As with any Microsoft Office program, blank documents, blank presentations, and blank workbooks never have a font style until a user selects one.
