Thanks! That's something I've wanted to do in gnumeric for a long time-- decades! I tested it out, works good, but found also that things got messed up when I inserted a row in the Autoformated part. Then doing the same again on the new (but the same) selected area really messed things up... made a dark square block inside the selected area. So I think this sort of Autoformatting should be done last, when there will be no more additions to the spreadsheet.
