Answer: By default when you create a new workbook in Excel 2011 for Mac, all cells will be formatted with a size 12 font. 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. Select the Home tab in the toolbar at the top of the screen and select your new size.
Nov 28, 2018 Change default font for comments in Excel 2011 for Mac Is there a way to change the default font for comments in Excel 2011? I know how to change each comment one by one but I would like to have the default font, size etc changed. By default, Excel for Mac uses Body Font in font size 12, which is displayed as Calibri font in font size 12 when you type data in a worksheet, header or footer, or text box. 
However, you can change the default font and font size for all new workbooks that you create. On the Excel menu, click Preferences.
The selected text should now reflect this new font size. In this example, we've chosen to set the font size to 16.
I'm not sure there's a global setting for the entire suite you can set. I know Managed Preferences (MCX) has a an item in the templates in the JSS for Outlook, called 'HTML Web Kit Standard Font' You can set that to your Arial font and it should set Outlook to use it. Or if you're not using MCX, you'd have to drop the settings into a Config profile or otherwise script it with defaults or PlistBuddy.
However, I don't see any equivalent settings for Word, Excel, etc. Maybe its under a different obscure name, but I took a quick look though Word's prefs and I don't even see a place to set a default font in the GUI.
Is there one? Also keep in mind the above Outlook setting can't be enforced. Its a user side setting. You can set it once or at every login, but no way to lock it in that I'm aware of.
