Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - Multiple font effects in a single cell
Hi David, .. I know I can get this effect be editing A1 manually, ... == I thought the strikeout (or for that matter ANY formatting) applies to the entire cell. I tried to strike out cde from abcdefg but had no idea how to do it. What could be the trick? Quite possible I have earlier version (check below) but that not possible with the large number of cells I want to edit in this manner. Can anyone tell me a way to do this, please? I'm willing to program this in basic if it's the only way.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - Multiple font effects in a single cell
Hi MiguelAngel, That's cool. Just this last weekend I spent a lot of time trying to do exactly that - using shell script - reading line by line and then extracting the alphanums from a csv. This is way too fast and easy. Thanks,It won't address the Multiple font effects in a single cell issue. (Right?) BTW, I do not understand one thing. imo, from ease point of view the world moved from scripts to spreadsheets etc applications and now everybody wants to program them!?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - Multiple font effects in a single cell
Hi :) It's a bit like moving everthing back up to the internet or big server machines and making desktop machines more like 'dumb'-terminals and calling the whole thing a bright new name (The Cloud)as though it was something new.
