Thank you, but regardless of what you want to have as a default font, if you
change the font of an entry in a table to something desired for that
column - different than the default - and you want to further modify one
word of that entry to another size of the new font, I don't think the
program should decide that the rest of the cell should revert to the default
font (because it knows better than I?).
When you go to the effort to make things look right, the program should
never decide that you are wrong (unless it is impossible for the program to
represent your desires).
For my current issue, I don't really care. I could always go back and fix
the fix and make copies if I had to. It still seems to me that this is an
issue that must be changed in software, not in how I use the program.

I'm new at using Oo, but it seems to me that if your font keeps regressing
to Times New Roman, that it is your "default font." You need to change
your default font to Arial. I have always preferred Arial myself for
writing documents and before I knew about changing my default font to
Arial, I used to get so angry at the problem of everything turning to
"Times." I do not know the font changing process in Oo, I learned how in
"MSWord."
Someone else will need to advise you how to do it and we'll both learn
something.

No. That's what happened. Really. And, just because of your reply, I
tried it on a test page and it happened again.
I started a new document, created a table 24 rows by 7 columns. I resized
the first column to be a bit wider, typed "Now is the time" in column 1.
It
came out in Times New Roman by default. Then I copied that cell down a
bunch of rows. I selected those rows and modified the font of all to Arial
(still size 12).
Then I changed the word "Now" on one of those lines to Arial size 10. I
then selected the word "Now". I double clicked the paintbrush to copy the
style and clicked on the word "Now" on another row. The rest of that line
reverted to Times New Roman.
This seems wrong to me. Bug or feature?
