On a side note, I highly encourage you to utilize header styles instead of bolding and changing the font size manually when creating sections in your document.
Click on the arrow to choose the option “Update ‘Normal text’ to match.” This will make your font and size the default for THIS document. Hovering over “Normal text” in the drop down from the toolbar will reveal an arrow on the right hand side. While your text is still highlighted, go to the toolbar and click on “Normal text.” This will show you the header styles for the document. Set the text to be the desired font type and size. This is font style “normal text.” You can identify the font style by looking in the toolbar next to the font type. Google has over 600 fonts that you can use in your Google Docs ( Click Here to see the list of fonts.) You probably have a favorite font (can I recommend comic sans?!) that you would like your documents to default to. Since I am in a doctoral program and have to write a lot of APA papers that require Times New Roman size 12 font it would be nice if I could default all of my documents to this. The default font in Google docs is Ariel size 11 font.
