ICYMI, Microsoft announced in April that they will officially be letting go of Calibri as their default font (Don't worry though because you can still use it!). Calibri has been the default of the Microsoft Office apps for 14 years now, and those who grew fond of it are sad to see that it will no longer be the first font they'd get to use upon opening the apps.
Currently, Microsoft is choosing among five new options and avid users can have a say in which gets selected as the new default font. But if none of the new options fit your taste, or if you're simply not ready to say goodbye to Calibri as your default font, you can actually choose your own default for the Microsoft Office apps on your device.

You can also change the default font on other Microsoft Office apps, including Excel and PowerPoint:
