Please take a look to LibreOffice documentation for Calc, chapter 4. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Calc_Guide (In reply to m.a.riosv from comment #1) > Please take a look to LibreOffice documentation for Calc, chapter 4. > https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/ > Publications#LibreOffice_Calc_Guide I read that, and while I still think this feature is riddled with bugs, I now see that even if they were fixed, "cell styles" appears to affect everything in the cell and can't be applied to a selection of characters within the cell. For a person trying to make a good looking spreadsheet, this makes the feature almost completely useless. Very disappointed. And since I entered that report I've stumbled on an intermittent problem where a Calc cell is formatted (with multiple sizes, underlining and superscript) as desired, and then when I come back to it, it's been corrupted - applying the underline to the same cell and superscripting the wrong characters (and this occurred during a period where I wasn't using styles at all). I couldn't find steps so I didn't report it, but the whole area of formatting is really a mess as of 5.3.2.2. The more I work with it (full time, seven days a week) the more discouraged I get. I think bug 108220 and/or bug 58759 would address your frustrations. Let's close this one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 58759 *** |
