My OpenOffice Calc is actually the LibreOffice Calc that comes with Trisquel (flidas). The link that I'm attempting to follow is here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35822359/highlight-duplicate-value-in-openoffice-calc

At the bottom of that page is the suggested solution:
"If you want to format any value in a cell that is a duplicate of the one immediately above it, select the entire column and use the following formula in Conditional Formatting:

"(INDIRECT(CELL("address"))=OFFSET(INDIRECT(CELL("address"));-1;0))"

But when I select Conditional Formatting, the drop-down menu is uncooperative, and I've no idea how to proceed ... anything I do just freezes the program.

I'm presuming that after I've color-coded the duplicates, that I can thereafter separate the color-coded ones from the rest.
