Re: [libreoffice-users] stopping superscript text in Calc

Hi :)  
In Writer when i type in a date i carry on with the rest of it and then select the couple of 
letters i wanted as superscript and then 
Format - Character - "Font Effects" - Superscript
this ensures that subsequent characters have already been typed in so it's only the selected 
characters that get affected.  Similarly with almost all other formatting.  Otherwise i have to 
1.  turn the formatting on, 
2.  type in whatever text i wanted
3.  turn the formatting off again
which interrupts my train of thought twice rather than just once.  With bold it's less of an issue 
because it's just 
Ctrl b 
rather than needing to reach for the mouse so it's easier to do "on the fly".  


With Calc i suddenly realised i always write dates as numbers such as 
23-10-2013
Other people seem to prefer 
23/10/2013 
but then find it a problem to interpret incomplete dates scribbled hastily on post-it's and have to 
quizz the original author as to what the date really was.  

Anyway i found i didn't know how to apply formatting to just parts within a cell in Calc!  I'm sure 
i will figure it out through rtfm or by just playing around with it.  

Regards from 
Tom :)

I took the list's advise of turning off the superscript function. If 
enough people are aggravated by the anomaly, it will be adjusted.

Thanks,
John
