Change default font for Impress

Post by baffledexpert »

I can't figure out how to change the default font for Impress on Mac 10.5 and OO.o 3.1.1.

As I mentioned elsewhere, the documentation is wrong.

I'd be grateful if you could help.

it's very simple to change the default font

1. No matter in writer or other components of OOo, press F11, you should get a dialog box of Style and Format

2. Alternatively, you can set it to be visible by : Format -> Style and Format selected

3. Now insert a table as you usually do

4. Move your cursor to any cell of the table

5. Check to see which is the default format of your table contents -> look at the Style and Format dialog box to see which one is selected

6. Right click on the item -> Modify

then you can change every thing about the style and format

Good luck

If you want to change the default font size in a table of Impress, it may be complicate on certain OS. The procedure shown above may only work on certain OS.
