If I try to "Select All" it highlights the content of the first cell and that's it. I have to delete the table first. And if I do delete the table and "Select All" the Format > Default Formatting option is grey'd out. > You can change the font of the default style by pressing F11 (or selecting > Format / Styles and Formatting from the menu), right clicking on Default, > and changing the font information. But that had no effect. Presumably this was because of my manual formatting in the beginning. Fortunately my document isn't that large yet. After clicking within each paragraph and selecting the 'Default' style, changing the style on that text now *does* change the text. So I just had to go through each paragraph and assert the Default style. But unfortunately the original problem remains - the font metrics are off. For example, in the word 'networks' the t and the w are actually touching (kerning is not checked). There are a bunch of words like that. Also, perhaps more important, the bad metrics are carried through into the PDF and in print which surprised me a little. Maybe I should try it in OSX.
