Formatting spreadsheets using themes
Calc comes with a predefined set of formatting themes that you can
apply to your spreadsheets.
It is not possible to add themes to Calc, and they cannot be modified.
However, you can modify their styles after you apply them to a
spreadsheet.
To apply a theme to a spreadsheet:
1) Click the Choose Themes icon in the Tools toolbar. If this toolbar
is not visible, you can show it using View > Toolbars > Tools.
The Theme Selection dialog appears. This dialog lists the
available themes for the whole spreadsheet.
2) In the Theme Selection dialog, select the theme that you want to
apply to the spreadsheet.
As soon as you select a theme, some of the properties of the
custom styles are applied to the open spreadsheet and are
immediately visible.
3) Click OK. If you wish, you can now go to the Styles and
Formatting window to modify specific styles. These modifications
do not change the theme; they only change the appearance of this
spreadsheet document.
Using conditional formatting
You can set up cell formats to change depending on conditions that you
specify. For example, in a table of numbers, you can show all the values
above the average in green and all those below the average in red.
Conditional formatting depends upon the use of styles, and the
AutoCalculate feature (Tools > Cell Contents > AutoCalculate)
must be enabled. See Chapter 2 in the Calc Guide for details.
