Completing this guide will result in a document that is using the same font style across the entire document. This will not affect any font colors or sizes that are currently applied.

Step 2: Click somewhere inside the document, then press Ctrl + A on your keyboard to select the entire document.
Step 3: Click the Font dropdown menu in the toolbar above the document body.
