The cell style called "Normal" is present by default in every document and has a special significance: it is the default style for all cells. As long as you do not apply other cell styles, every cell in a document uses the "Normal" cell style.

If you change the "Normal" cell style – for example, the number format – the number format for all cells will be changed (except for cells that you have formatted manually in a different number format via the command group Home | Number). Furthermore, subsequent entries will appear in this number format which you have defined in this manner as the new default format in the "Normal" cell style for the document.

If you want to apply a different cell style to certain cells instead of the default "Normal" style, select the cells and follow the instructions in Applying cell styles.
