IN the Swedish help files, before the most recent versions, there is
an example like this, but the colours are in Swedish. Nobody could
make that work, so there are NEVER Swedish colour names, no matter
what language version you have. The Swedish help is corrected since
then I believe or will be for the next version.

Okay, that doesn't work for me at all, so obviously my system needs
the word ”Standard” and your needs the word ”General”, I can live with
that.

In your example on your computer, if you enter -3 into that cell, does
the cell display 3 or -3?
If you enter -10, does it display 10 or -10?

Just to eliminate more language confusion, let's from now on change
the example to this instead:

[BLUE][<-5]0;[RED][>30]0;[GREEN]0

It gives the same result but with no decimals (I avoided decimals in
this example because about 50% of all countries use a decimal point
and the other half, where I belong, use a decimal comma).

So the last example should work for everybody, right?

So again, copy this format to a couple of cells, then input different
values in them. Does -10 show up as -10 or just 10? The same question
with -3.

On my both laptops (OpenOffice.org 3.1.0 on Ubuntu 8.10 and
OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 on Mandriva Linux Free 2009.1) -10 is displayed
as -10 and -3 is displayed as 3, and I can't really see why.

I will try to attach an example spreadsheet to this post, but I don't
know it it will come through. If it does, please open it and take a
look. If it doesn't, I will upload it somewhere and provide a link to
it.
