Q: Numbers default text box appearance

Hi,

I am trying to set a font as the default in Numbers but when I go to Format > Advanced the option for "Set as Default Text Box Appearance" is greyed out.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hi GMR5,

     

    How are you going about this?

     

    When I create a text box, modify the font as I wish, I can go to Format>Advanced>Set as Default Text Box Appearance and the changes are saved.

    If you are not ding something different you may try restarting Numbers and your machine.

    Hi GNR5,

     

    That is a puzzle. I get the option whenever I have a text box selected.
