- The user is working on a medication-tracking spreadsheet and wants consistent formatting across all cells.
- Observed behavior

Select All Cells and Apply the Font, Size, and Color
Use this method when you want the same font, size, and color applied to every cell in the active worksheet, including empty cells.
This method applies the formatting to the entire worksheet, so any new data entered later will inherit the same font, size, and color.
Click the Select All button at the corner above row 1 and left of column A, or press Ctrl+A on your keyboard.
On the Home tab, find the Font, Font Size, and Font Color drop-down menus in the ribbon.
Select the required font from the Font menu, the required size from the Font Size menu, and the required color from the Font Color menu. The formatting is applied to all selected cells immediately.
Use the Format Cells Dialog to Apply All Font Settings at Once
Use this option when you prefer to set font, style, size, and color in one dialog box.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I select all cells in WPS Office Spreadsheet?
Click the Select All button at the intersection above row 1 and left of column A, or press Ctrl+A.
Will the font change apply to empty cells as well?
Yes. When you select the entire worksheet, the formatting is applied to all cells, including blank cells, so future entries use the chosen font, size, and color.
Can I choose a custom font color instead of the preset colors?
Yes. Click the Font Color drop-down, choose More Colors, and select or define the exact color you need.
Does this method work for multiple worksheets at once?
You can group worksheets first by holding Ctrl and clicking each sheet tab, then selecting all cells and applying formatting. Ungroup the sheets afterward to avoid unintended edits.
