I clicked on the table and changed the font in a placeholder table. The table displays the results of a database query. The font doesn't change no matter what I set it to.
I had to right click on the document, set the font size I wanted for the table as default for the document. Then change everything else to a different size that needed to be a different size.
This may seem strange, but go to a smaller font size click off the box, then go to a larger font size. See if that works for you. We are on 13.2 and this is what I have had to do..
Are you using "reveal formatting" at all? I would recommend using that (shortcut: Shift + F1) to investigate the font size. Sometimes Word pretends to change formatting, but really doesn't. You can also investigate the individual cells that way.
