Then how the procedure would work? Let me ask this differently: how the traditional use of this dialog would be affected? We all know that this dialog is very frequently used, and it has been used in a certain way for decades. So, introducing some new feature (which I very much welcome, as I mentioned before) would need to keep as default (procedure) the way it has been used. It has to be the natural default, in order to minimize the chances that (unaware) users would trigger unintentional consequences (such as deleting a Format, especially if they don't know that they are deleting it and without the possibility to recover it). This is the reason for me to suggest that perhaps it would be better to have a separate dialog, similar to what happens in Conditional Format > Manage, among other features. IOW, having some kind of "Manage" (Custom Number) Format Styles/Codes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
