How to change default font size on a Base table?

I open my database.
I have a table with about 400 records in it. I need to change the font size of the records. I have no dropdown menu that allows me to adjust the font, and no contextual menu (I think that's correct terminology) - right mouse with a font choice regardless of whether I open the table or edit the table.
Searching help yields nothing that I recognize as help for openoffice.

As you have received no replies, I dare to offer a comment but have no experience of the Mac. I know of no way to change the font size in a table but wonder if you really need to. Essentially a database management system such as Base is more productive if changes or additions are made to the under lying data by means of a form.
If you create a form linked to the table to show all the fields as a table/grid, its appearance will be similar to that of the source table. It is, however, a simple matter to enlarge or reduce the view scale and size of a form and its content. In windows there is a scaling bar at the right hand end of the status bar, or you can 'Zoom' from the 'View' menu.

I wonder if Kittie is talking about the table grid in a form, rather than an actual table. If you are, Kittie, then open the form in Design view, press the Form Navigator button, and right click on the actual Table Grid in the Form Navigator window.
Click on Properties and click the elipse button [...] just right of the Font row in the Properties window.
Choose the font and size you require.
