Anyone using Microsoft Excel? [View all]

Mine is for the Mac 2011.

Once a week, or so, I visit many of our retirement funds and savings and copy and paste the values from the web page into an excel cell. I use Veranda size 9, but it can be any font and size.

It works fine with Safari, but with Firefox - even with earlier versions - it would paste at Calibri (body) size 12. It does not matter that I format the whole page, or the column, the result is always the same. Calibri (body) 12.

Any idea what is so special about this font when I am copying and pasting a value from a web page?

Hope it is not too confusing.

Thanks
