------- Additional comments from nick...@openoffice.org Tue Jul 6 00:51:02 +0000 2010 ------- I'm not much of a programmer, but I spent some time looking at the developer instructions for OO spreadsheet cell formatting. Cell formatting is a subset of the programming task. It appears that a formatting utility can be written and added to the existing list of formatting types. The various modulo 3 algorithms presented here are okay, but the tough step is incorporating them into the source code for cell formatting. Sorry, but I didn't actually probe as far into the source as I'd need to to answer the specifics of how to do this. Second, I agree that this request 5930 is two issues - numerical engineering format (modulo 3 exponents) and the scientific character nomenclature - the SI/MKSA units. Both can be handled with similar internal mechanisms, with different exponent representations - numerical or letter. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
