274019 2004-09-20 03:03:00 Way back in the days when I used 123 there was a "global format" option which, if selected, would migrate any format changes through all sheets of a multi-sheet spreadsheet. I now have OOo 1.1.2 on the home PC and would like to use the same option if it is available. However, I can't find it in Help - it's either not there or I am perhaps asking the wrong questions when I search.

I know that I can format one sheet and, using Paste Special, copy format changes to all sheets one at a time. I would however prefer the global option if one is available.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.......Ray

274021 2004-09-21 07:08:00 Hi, I presume you mean Open Office. Im not very familiar with it, but you can group sheets (hold down CTRL key and click each sheet you want to be grouped or right click a sheet and choose select all sheets) then select cells and apply formatting and the formatting will apply to the same cells in the selected sheets. To de-select hold down SHIFT & click.

Is that what you mean?
