Hal,
I understand. It's just that I'm trying to port a
project into gnumeric, but it's heavily dependent on
conditional formatting, so that's not possible at
present. That's the way the cookie crumbles, I guess.
One question I forgot to ask in the previous message
was, how do you get RTF into a cell? I've tried
copying and pasting to no avail. I figured that
perhaps if I could get RTF into a cell, I could figure
out a way to manipulate it in the way I mentioned.
