The attached spreadsheet is just the tip of the iceberg. This manifests itself in many ways, especially if the spreadsheet is imported from Excel, which, after all, is the whole point - make it easy for users to migrate from Excel. Here's a broader way of explaining the problem: At the very core of UI design philosophy is the idea that the user selects something, and then acts on it. If I type control-A and select every cell in a spreadsheet, and go to the toolbar and choose Courier, or Bold, or 12 pts - that attribute should be applied to every character in every cell. This is how every program works. To not behave this way is a bug so fundamental that there can be no argument - yes? Something is getting corrupted in the internal description of the cell contents such that various attributes can't be changed with the normal UI commands.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
