What vba code will format a cell back to Excel's default formatting
with the default borders, clear/white background, arial 10 font,
normal text, etc.?

If it's the active cell.... ActiveCell.Clear

If it's a range... Range("A4:K12").Clear

Cells.clear

should work, if it doesnt, you could record a macro while setting up a
cell the way you want and use that.

Another one -

Activesheet.Range("A1").ClearFormats

What both .Clear and .ClearFormats actually do is apply the workbook's
Normal style (Formats / Styles).

In a new workbook based on the default template, the Normal style's font is
set from -
Application.StandardFont & .StandardFontSize (Tools / Options / General).
After changing these settings, manually or programmatically, need to restart
Excel for them to take effect.
