I have a script from https://www.codexworld.com/export-html-to-word-doc-docx-using-javascript/ that will allow me to export a view/post into a Word document.
Does anyone know how to style the export to specify the font family and size instead of using the default word settings?
This is the script:

function Export2Word(element, filename = ''){
    var preHtml = "<html xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice' xmlns:w='urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:word' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40'><head><meta charset='utf-8'><title>Export HTML To Doc</title></head><body>";
    var postHtml = "</body></html>";
    var html = preHtml+document.getElementById(element).innerHTML+postHtml;

    var blob = new Blob(['\ufeff', html], {
        type: 'application/msword'
    });
    
    // Specify link url
    var url = 'data:application/vnd.ms-word;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURIComponent(html);
    
    // Specify file name
    filename = filename?filename+'.doc':'document.doc';
    
    // Create download link element
    var downloadLink = document.createElement("a");

    document.body.appendChild(downloadLink);
    
    if(navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob ){
        navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob, filename);
    }else{
        // Create a link to the file
        downloadLink.href = url;
        
        // Setting the file name
        downloadLink.download = filename;
        
        //triggering the function
        downloadLink.click();
    }
    
    document.body.removeChild(downloadLink);
}

This has nothing to do with Formidable. I suggest you ask the developer that wrote your snippet.

Sorry, I thought because it was a View setting that could be adjusted but I see your point. Thanks Victor.
