With this quick preview, you can check how your text will look like if you apply the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"format wp-block-heading\">Type and size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The default font since&nbsp;<strong>Excel 2007<\/strong>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<strong>Calibri<\/strong>, size&nbsp;<strong>11<\/strong>.&nbsp;In&nbsp;<strong>Excel 2003<\/strong>&nbsp;and earlier versions, it was&nbsp;<strong>Arial 10<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"442\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/excel-default-fonts.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/excel-default-fonts.png 442w, https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/06\/excel-default-fonts-300x81.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To change the font size, go to&nbsp;<strong>HOME &gt;&gt; Font<\/strong>.
