Font is Different within a Table
I have:
Microsoft® Word for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2409 Build 16.0.18025.20030) 64-bit
I have encountered what appears to be a common problem – when I create a table the font withing the table is different than the rest of the document. However, the online help says:
“The default font used for the text in a table will be that defined in the Table Grid Style. If the font for the text in the table is not the font that you want it to be, modify that Style so that it uses the font that you want.”
Ok, great, but exactly how do I do that? I’d be grateful if someone could take me click by click through the process.

You can modify the font of any table style if you right-click the style on the Table Design tab and chose Modify Table Style. You will see the dialog box depicted below.
That said, you must also make sure that the font settings of the Normal style match the corresponding font settings on the Set Defaults tab of the Manage Styles dialog box.
