--- Comment #2 from ady <adylo811...@gmail.com> ---
Attachment 191615 is an XLT template file.

Saving either as ods or as xlsx file formats, and changing the font size of
column A "fails" to change the font size to several cells.

Note that [CTRL]+[1] > Font (tab), will show the font size that was applied (or
at least attempted to). This is not reflected on the main area/cells.

Also note that using the "Increase Font Size" icon of the "Formatting" toolbar
(part of the Standard toolbar UI) works correctly.

The reason for the failure is that each of those cells (that do not change
size) contain text that is _partly_ formatted with different attributes.

For example, cell A3 contains the text:
"1. All timesheets should reflect the app"

The initial "1." in that quoted text is formatted as bold whereas the rest of
the text within the same cell is not.

If you clear the format of the cells (e.g. select the range of cells and then
"clear format", [CTRL]+[M] with English shortcuts), then the font size can be
changed as usual.

Alternatively, you have to enter to cell's edit mode, select the text within
each cell, and modify the font's size (cell by cell).

IMHO, applying a new format (e.g. font size) to all the range of selected cells
should rather be allowed for such cases anyway.

I do not know whether the "failure" is a bug or intentional (as there are pros
and cons). I also don't know whether this should be considered as an
enhancement request.
