Could you describe more specifically what you're trying to achieve? Is 
is: let's say a cell contains Split cell (without the quotes), and you 
want this to wind up in two adjacent cells, with one cell containing 
Split and the other cell containing cell? Or is it something else?


Is there a way to copy / paste the format of a cell to selected 
cells.  I do not want the whole spreadsheet with the same cell 
formatting just specific ones.


Yes, there is. Do Edit  Copy from the cell or cells you want to copy 
the format FROM, then click in the cells you want the format copied to, 
and use Edit  Paste Special. Deselect (uncheck) all of the options 
under Selection EXCEPT for Formats.


Or, alternatively, use the Format Paintbrush tool. Select the cell you 
want to copy the format from, click on the Format Paintbrush (it's on 
the main toolbar; it looks like a paintbrush), then click in the cells 
or range of cells you want formatted like the cell you clicked first.


I did not see anything in Help addressing these functions - searched 
split cell / cell format - paste


Thank you
Jack

Re: Calc: Paste Format - Split Cell

Paste special - thank you . . .  one of those days when I looked right 
at it and didn't see it.  Also, thank you so much for the tip on the 
Format paintbrush tool.  Hadn't even considered a paintbrush for other 
than changing colors.


Split cell - I would like to split Cell 3 into 2 cells without 
increasing the width of Cells 1, 3  5 (about as difficult to explain 
without pictures as defining rinse body to a deaf person using the 
manual language from a different area of the country without demonstrating)


Created a calendar with fillable cells - not an online calendar nor just 
a calendar to look at - interactive is the best description.


Below is a one day section from the calendar.  I am not sure it will 
post with the message.  I do appreciate the time you have taken so far.


My question pertains to the group of cells (the next week) following 
this set of 7 groups (one for each day of the week).   The next week 
group was created only until the 30th but the month has 31 days.  The 
easiest way would be so split a cell to reflect space for month day 
number, special notation to right of month day number; space below these 
two for notes of that day such as medical appointment; lastly section 
below for tracking numbers.
