I'm not sure this is what you're asking and I did not realise (until checking
just now) that this was possible but I have just changed the colour of the
"01" in "06/01/2006" to a different colour.  You have to select the contents
of the cell as text.  The easiest way is to double-click on the cell which
enables you to use the mouse pointer as a text cursor.  Use it to select the
portion you wish to highlight and proceed.  I have a font colour chooser icon
on the toolbar and I was able to use that.  Otherwise /Format /Character.

I can't help on the Writer question.
