I've looked in the help under "fonts", "text", "notes", and "cells" but
can't find out how to change the size of text in Calc notes attached to
cells.
Any ideas?
It is a bit complicated if you're using version 1.1.x, since you can not
directly change font properties of a note. It ca be done in the beta
1.9.100 - and possibly earlier, too.
But here's what you can do. Type the note text into an empty cell.
Change the font size (and other attributes) to your liking, cut the text
and paste it into the note. That should do the trick.
I'm not the original poster, and maybe he is satisfied with these
suggestions. But I tried to change the appearance of notes in 1.9.100
and didn't succeed at all.
The third thing I tried was to move the mouse away from the little red
dot: the note goes away immediately, you can't get at the letters in a
note even if you wanted to change the letter size in each note
individually.
The second was to select "Show note" from the context menu on the dot.
It copies the contents of the note into a frame, where you can for
instance apply text art, but it's not a note anymore (and I couldn't
select that frame with the mouse ever again. The next note will be
yellow, small lettered and in straight lines, as ever.
My first guess in a program that takes as much pride in its style
support as open office would have been that you go the red dot and
select "Change paragraph style" from the context menu. You could argue
that notes are not part of the document per se, so should have a
browser-like setting that is is not saved with the document (and is
independent of the zoom setting; you want to be able to read the notes
no matter if you're adjusting letter kernings of getting an overview
of the page layout). That setting would belong to the particular
installation of OOo where you view it, and I guess Preferences is the
place where to customize it. The only thing I could find there was a
way to change the color.
Are my expectations so far off?
