------- Additional comments from ir...@openoffice.org Wed Dec 15 05:40:29 +0000 2010 ------- I'm not talking about Excel. I was referring to what would happen in Calc if we do go with the grouping trick. I also did state that the lost form of formatting is an extremely exceptional case, very few people (if any) would want such a format - so we might not need worry on that score. I was just stating such for completeness - trying to look at the problem and solution from all angles. What I don't want is to go through this process only to find a year later that we've got bigger problems due to what we've done now. I.e. I'm trying to avoid the same mistakes made by the ODF council when they designed this (IMO) silly portion of the spec. I can guess why they went the route of settings instead of a format string - it's generally more efficient. But using settings is not as open-ended as the format string. This is one of those cases where efficiency was taken just that bit too far, it breaks into functionality. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
