I have a big sheet and I want to find all the cells with a yellow
background.

When that is done I want to insert the word "yellow" or some other
string in the cell (not overwrite).

Is there a simple way to do that ?


Use conditionals. These are described in the User GUides. See
http://documentation.openoffice.org/

After reading the relevant chapter I come to the conclusion that conditional formatting is the opposite of what I want. Am I wrong ?

In conditional formatting I can say:
if cell content is "suchstring" then apply style "suchstyle"

Now the problem here is that the cells are not "styled" they only have a yellow background inherited from the Excel import.

What I would like to do (automatically if possible) would be:
if cell background is "yellow" then concatenate "yellow string" to the cell contents.

And that does not seem to be covered by conditional styling.
