Answer: By default when you create a new workbook in Excel 2011 for Mac, all cells will be formatted with a size 12 font.

If you plan to share this file with users who do not have Office installed on their computers, be sure to also select the Embed only the characters used in this document (best for reducing file size). You can change the size of the font within any cell. To change the font size in a cell, select the text that you wish to change the size of. This can either be the entire cell or only a character in the cell. This option significantly reduces file size because it only saves those characters used in your worksheet.Ĭlick OK. When you save a workbook that uses embedded fonts, those fonts are saved along with your workbook. When another user opens your workbook on their computer (provided they have Office installed), they will see all of the same text and formatting that you seeeven if they don't have the same fonts installed as you do.

What about licensing?īe sure to check the licensing agreement for any fonts that you plan to embed in a workbook. Some fonts may require additional licenses for distribution.
