--- Comment #3 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> --- (In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #1) > So I don't think this particular issue warrants an overhaul of how styles > are handled in Calc. But can't this argument be made in the opposite direction? If there's very little in the way of superordinate-subordinate relations, then isn't it easy to make sheets the superordinate object of cells? > Maybe the first (and only?) step in resolving this is to dissociate the > property Text Direction from Page Styles, so cell styles and page styles are > two unrelated things.

Or am I missing > something? I'm not at all sure. And that's because formatting properties of sheets are a thing: * Default properties of cells within the sheet, e.g. dimensions, and perhaps even a default cell style (named or spelled out). * The horizontal progression direction of cells * The order of coverage of cells by pages (vertical major horizontal minor or the other way around) * What should page margins and borders be on the rim of a sheet and internally? * Whether or not to print some kind of fallback border between cells which have no border * Sheet-level header and footer etc. Now, you could argue that some of these are not formatting, but actual content. And that's at least partially right. but then - what about the dimensions of a page, for a page style? And why are a lot of these present as part of the Page Style dialog, on the Sheet tab (which doesn't exist in Writer for example)? And you could also argue that a lot of these only have to do with printing; but that's again also true for Page Styles. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
