This whole discussion about Calc's default font has got me thinking. I
am one who appreciates LO's templates/style approach and I have learned
how to use it. Once learned, templates and styles are easy to use and
make the finished result polished and consistent. Yet, I will admit, it
has taken

Like all software that offers users options, some learning of how to use
the program is required.
I understand why software learning is not done --- skill testing either
ignores, or actively

That did it - Magic!! Just what I wanted. You have made my frequent use
of Calc so much better!!
I still think it is a convoluted way of doing things but I'm very happy
to have the answer at last.
With much appreciation!!

I seem to have stirred-up a real Hornets Nest here - but to me it just
shows how badly this part of LO is!!! It's a GREAT program except for
this problem and of course the orphan child Base!!

But still no joy!! Why does this have to be so difficult!!?? None of the
ideas about using the Side-Bar do anything that makes any sense.
So I thought I would try Paul's idea and try and edit the Default
Template but I can find no reference in the Drop-Down options in the
Menu

I'm with Ian on this one. Those changes
I had this problem years ago, and wrote to the list for help. The
solution was to create a separate empty spreadsheet, (and a write
document?), then convert? it to a template, and label it somehow, in
order to set the default font and size. The Elephant in this Room is:

Which is precisely why you both want and need to construct, and use a
default template.

BUT that does not work!!
Top Right Icon is 'Properties' not 'Styles and Formatting' and it is
showing the Font and Size I want.
But when I select 'New Spreadsheet' the "default" Liberation Sans 10
still comes up!!
I don't want or need a Template I just want the Font and
View > Sidebar
Use top right icon to switch to "Styles and Formatting
Right click "Default" and select "Modify"
Under the Font tab select your desired font.
You might want to save this as a template and use as your default template.
