Normally, Microsoft Excel 2003 uses a default font of Arial 10-point whenever you create a new spreadsheet. While you can change the current font at any time by clicking on the font and font size pull-downs in the toolbar, if you commonly use a different font you can change the default for future spreadsheets.

4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
