I agree, Brian, that one generally need need to worry about style
precision in subdocuments, since the master document controls the final
output. That's the beauty of the master document process. It's almost
LyX-like in its execution (what you see is what you /mean/).
But, I sense that the

Hi :)
I thought it wasn't possible to set the back-ground colour according
to a changing value within a cell. I didn't think MS Excel can do it
either. For advanced spreadsheeting-fu i would turn to Gnumeric but i
didn't think that could do it either!
The closest i got was making negative

I didn't think i had time to learn styles either but found that just

I am wondering if you are printing to a machine that your OS thinks is

Hi :)
Again, it's another advantage of OpenSource, or at least non-MS stuff.
There is an entire eco-system of similar programs and suites that can
all work on the same documents as each other but each provides for
different niches, as well as all covering all the same middle-ground
as each other.
