Re: Time Sheet
Or hi-lite the column using your mouse and right-click and select Format. (note: This is no difference from the way I format cells in Excel) On March 26, 2020 at 5:33:58 PM, Richard Beeston (ar2l...@bigpond.com) wrote: Hi Jan At the top of the column above line 1 there is usually a letter from A - Z or similar Right click on the letter and it should come up with a "option box that ha Format Cells.

Re: Time Sheet
Jan, The cell is formatted to display numbers as money ($). It should be formatted as either plain integer, decimal or time (hh:mm:ss). As a courtesy I have sent a copy of this to you as you may not be subscribed to the users group mailing list. Please reply to: users@openoffice.apache.org so that all users can assist you if you have any further questions.

Time Sheet
Hello OpenOffice, Wow ~ this is one complicated program. During my career I used Excel, what a breeze. Then for a fun part-time job post-retirement I was directed to use OpenOffice. It’s a challenge! I have a time sheet that is showing the $ sign in the hour column. So for example if I worked five hours it displays $5.00. How can I remove the dollar sign and still have the format add my hours?
