Default Fonts change each time I open file

Hi Challa, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the file's several tabs use
different fonts, mainly for headings and charts, though I use Arial for all
of them, so doing what you say, even if it worked for my predicament, would
still entail making a lot of changes.

However I went ahead and followed what you were saying, just to see if the
new font settings would be retained when I reopened the file. They were not.
Tahoma's showed up in some rows, bold where it wasn't needed, vice-versa,
etc.

Hi,

Do the following:

1. Press the Ctrl key and click on all the Sheet Tab. When you do this all
Sheet Tab becomes grouped.
2. In you Current Worksheet, press Ctrl+A. This selects the whole worksheet.
3. Click the Font list to select a Font name.
4. Click the Font Size list, to enter or select a font size.
5. Now Save the Excel sheet.

Caution: If you a add a new sheet then the Font name and Font size will take
the default settings Arial 10.

I use an Excel 2003 spreadsheet which I update daily. Each time I open it
however, my fonts are changed - drastically. I distribute only some of the
tabs from this spreadsheet, and each time I copy the tabs into a new file,
the same situation happens, even after I've fixed the original one. This
also happens when I open the file in a different PC. However when I e-mail
the file, the fonts are retained. This does not happen on any other
spreadsheet/file I have.

I searched all over the help function of Excel, as well as on-line, but
could not find the solution (nor the problem). Thanks in advance for any
efforts to help.
