Hi :)
I think you don't even have to select all your text.  Just have the cursor somewhere in the text 
and click on the box besides the fonts box on the toolbar and reselect default (or whatever) i 
think that should be enough to reassert your fonts and sizes rather than copying the ones used in 
your text-editor.  

My text editor doesn't use Courier so i get Arial or something when i try to copy&paste from it.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Libre Writer - Opening plain text documents to desired font

Hi Folks,

I'm new to Libre Office but I read how you can create your own default
font style and size so a blank document will open to that default
style and size.

I'm trying to set Libre Writer so that when I open a saved plain text
(.txt) file it opens to my created default style and size.

Right now it opens to Preformatted Text - Courier New 10 point.

I've visited Styles and Formatting and right clicked on Preformatted
Text and chosen Modify and changes the font to Bookman Old 12 point
and clicked Apply, then OK.

I then reopened Preformatted Text style and it indeed displays my
chosen font and size.

However, still when I open a saved plain text file it opens to
Preformatted Text but with Courier New 10 point - not the Bookman Old
12 point I chose and saved.

Would anyone know if you can open saved plain documents to a desired
font style and size or are you always stuck with Courier New 10 point
whenever you open a plain text file?

I know I can highlight all the text in the opened plain text file and
chosoe the Default style and it will change back to my desired font
and style but is there any way of ensuring any plain text files will
open to a desired font stye?

Thank you so much,

Charles.
