Figure 123: Hiding or showing cells
Outline group controls
If you are continually hiding and showing the same cells, you can
simplify the process by creating
outline groups
, which add a set of
controls for hiding and showing the cells in the group that are quick to
use and always available.
If the contents of cells falls into a regular pattern, such as four cells
followed by a total, then you can use Data > Group and Outline >
AutoOutline to have Calc add outline controls based on the pattern.
Otherwise, you can set outline groups manually by selecting the cells
for grouping, then choosing Data > Group and Outline > Group. On
the Group dialog, you can choose whether to group the selected cells
by rows or columns.
When you close the dialog, the outline group controls are visible
between either the row or column headers and the edges of the editing
window. The controls resemble the tree-structure of a file-manager in
appearance, and can be hidden by selecting Data > Outline > Hide
Details. They are strictly for on screen use, and do not print.
The basic outline controls have plus or minus signs at the start of the
group to show or hide hidden cells. However, if one or more outline
group is nested in another, the controls have numbered buttons for
hiding different levels of group.
