    Default Change text font in existing table

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I have an existing table that was imported from Excel and has a Calibri font. It is a large table. How can I change the font of all cells at the same time. I can only see how to do it one cell at a time.

    If you select all cells (so they have the yellow box around them) you can change the font type through properties

    Tried that.

    Properties, Content, text style. The style changes but the text font in the table does not.

    Have you tried changing the font type in xl to what you want it to be?

    My excell has RomanS, thats my companies standard font, another thing you might face is issues with printing, i could not get romans to plot right when in a autocad table that was linked. I dont know why, if i typed it directly into the table it plotted fine but if it was linked to excel it plotted really light, only font with the problem

    Thanks for your continued help.

    But I do not have the original XL file. Is there a way to export the Autocad table to XL? Then I could change the font and import it back to Autocad...

    Still somewhat arkward.

    Thanks, that works. Not as smooth as I would have liked, but better than what I have now.
