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 is always formatted in 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 ribbon tab Home | Number). Furthermore, subsequent entries will appear in this number format, which you have defined 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.
