Now the real question here should not be how to display non printable characters, but how do non printable characters came in the first place into your spreadsheet. Using your keyboard as a source of input it will be impossible to enter non printable characters. The only way is to copy data from an other source e.g. from a website. Websites have al kind of non printable characters and you should clean the source before you paste them into your spreadsheet. One way is to copy the data into a writer document and use the functionality to View non printable characters there. Clean it and copy the result into your spreadsheet.

Using OpenOffice 4.1.7 on macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), I do not see that menu selection in *Calc*. (I do see View > "Nonprinting Characters" in *Writer*.)

See, I'm using the spreadsheet as a points system and each week I have to move people around but what happens is I have to reformat a lot of the background colors. It depends on how you move people around when you drag cells around it doesn't work, but you could probably use conditional formatting it all depends on your data. If you like to share your spreadsheet we could give some advice but without seeing it we're unable. Anyway, please let know Thanks AJ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

See, I'm using the spreadsheet as a points system and each week I have to move people around but what happens is I have to reformat a lot of the background colors. You need to move the values in your spreadsheet whilst keeping the background colours where they are? That's easy if you use Paste Special. o Copy the required cell(s). o Go to Edit | Paste Special... (or right-click | Paste Special... or Ctrl+Shift+V). o In the Paste Special dialogue, remove the tick from Paste all if necessary and then ensure that Text, Numbers, or whatever are ticked and that Formats is *not* ticked. I trust this helps. Brian Barker - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
