How to change calc 'normal' template?

[tjsilver]

Hello!

I use LibreOffice 5.4.7.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 and (just recently) version 5.4.6.2 (x64) on Windows 10 Pro.

When I open an existing spreadsheet on Windows m/c everything is fine. However, when I create a new spreadsheet (Windows) all entered text/values are italicised; but not under Ubuntu - a new spreadsheet created with Ubuntu version displays ‘normal’ text.

What am I missing (in the sense, ‘What am I not understanding’)? How do I change this behaviour? I don’t seem to be able to format cells as I want.

A silly thing but it’s really annoying me!

I can’t be using the right search phrase(s) 'cause I’ve not found anything similar.

A pointer to suitable reading (yes, I’ve got the manual) would be much appreciated.

Sounds weird. Does this help?
