<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> "Normal" character style

The character style called "Normal" is present by default in every document and has a special significance: it is the default style for all cell contents. When you start typing something in a new document, the "Normal" character style is automatically used for it.

If you change the "Normal" character style – for example, the font – the font for all cells will be changed (except for cells that you have formatted manually in a different font via the ribbon tab Home | Character). Furthermore, subsequent entries will appear in this default font which you have redefined as the "Normal" character style for the document.
