I'm just saying "go study the Developer's Guide!"... no, just kidding (though hope you study it) > the only way would be to > create a custom format in the ODS file itself? custom number formats are stored inside the document (that's all I know from the Dev's Guide, and AFAIK that hasn't changed) > In which case, does the > extended format also need to be an embedded macro? no, no marco needed; but you need a way to store the format in every OOo document you want to use that format. One way could be to develop a css.task.Job that will be invoked onDocumentOpened (== OnNew + OnLoad), check if the document already has the num. format, and if not then add it.
