How do I change the default font in Calc? I have vision issues and
both the Arial font structure as well as the default size are an

and size on the tool bar, I'd prefer a manner in which I can change
the default font to my preferred one.
I think the only simple way to do this - which is very simple - is to
create a template.
o Create a new spreadsheet document.
o Click in the small rectangle at top left (where the row and column
headers meet) to select the entire sheet.
o Make all the formatting changes you wish.
o Go to File | Templates > | Save..., give the new template a name,
and OK to save it - probably in My Templates.
When you need a new spreadsheet, invoke this template via File | New>
| Templates and Documents, or the Templates and Documents entry in
the drop-down menu under the down-arrow next to the New button in the
Standard toolbar, or the Templates... button on the start screen.
If you wish, you can make your new template the default for new
spreadsheet documents:
o Go to File | Templates > | Organise... .
o Open My Templates and select the new template.
o Click Commands | Set As Default Template.
Note that this formatting affects only any sheets you apply it to
individually, so you should consider formatting all three of the
sheets a new document has by default - or perhaps even more. Even if
you do this, any new sheets you create in documents derived from this
template will - perhaps surprisingly - have the original defaults,
not yours. You can work around this by creating additional sheets by
copying existing ones instead of creating new ones.
If it suits your practices better, you can save a template or a copy
or a shortcut to it wherever you prefer - perhaps on your desktop.
I trust this helps.
