I have an OpenOffice Calc document that contains text data in cells. The text in each cell contains numeric characters. I want these numeric characters to be different in color.
Is there a way to accomplish this format?
There are huge number of cells and manually editing would be time consuming. I could not manage to do it by "conditional formatting". So I'd like to learn if any other method is available.
Double-click in the cell and select one of the characters. Then click on the triangle of the Font Color toolbar icon. Finally, choose the color from the palette.

I have a chart where I want to display text tooltips of variable lengths as long as 300 characters, but they are displayed with random box sizes. Sometimes they are shown in a neat square box with several lines of text, which is nice. But sometimes they attempt to put all the text in one line and it doesn't fit in the chart, so some part of the text is not visible.
I wonder if there is a way to format the tooltip box to a fixed maximum width to avoid this problem.
Below are two pictures showing the same chart. The first one shows a tooltip box out of the chart and page, so the complete text is not visible. The second one shows another tooltip that randomly shows the text fine.
Note: I tried cutting the text to a fixed length of 50 or 80 characters and it's better, but I would prefer to have the complete text.
I'd like some help with creating macro to change color of all text of the same color in Excel sheet, based on font color near cursor position inside cell or selected text fragment (cell will have multiple color text).
To clarify question a bit more: im looking for method to get font color value into vba script, where color must be somehow selected by user from cell that will contain text in several random colors. For example user double clicking cell and placing text cursor inside text with certain color or selecting fragment of text with certain color.
Or another alternative to create menu with all text colors used on sheet and let user click on colors he wants to change.
So, I have a custom function that concatenate different cells and put a comma between words.
For example, say I have "ABCD" "BC" then, this function will
output ABCD, BC. Now the problem is that the text will overflow in a cell and overlap with the cell next to that. In order to solve this problem,
I am thinking of just replacing the concatenated word with "Multiple" if more than 3 words are combined. Is there anyway to do this in a cell?
You can do this with conditional formatting AND keep the original underlying string as a raw value for other purposes.
Select the cells with the formula and create a conditional formatting rule based on a formula. =LEN(C2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C2, ",", ""))>1
Click Format and go to the Numbers tab. Choose Custom from the list down the left side and supply the following for the Type: ;;;[color13]_((\multipl\e) I've opted to also make the font dark blue (colorindex # 13) and indent from the left.
Click OK to accept the formatting and then OK again to create the new rule.
As you can see in the sample image above, the underlying raw value remains (shown in the formula bar) but (multiple) is displayed.

I am creating a userform in Excel, I have a Label with a large amount of text in. I need to have certain words in Bold and in Red color and the rest in standard black.
I can change the whole text color in the properties but not just certain words.
Is this possible and if so how would I do it?
Select certain word and fill with BOLD or make it RED
Also this depends on your Excel Version, I using Excel 2013
I do believe that it isn't possible..
You'll have to create different Labels in order to change only certain parts of your text color.
I have a BIRT report that I have set up to use conditional formatting so that the colour of the row alternates between grey and white. It works as expected except for the fact that the grey colour in a field with a string extends slightly below where the grey extends in a field with an integer. In other words, if the grey background is 1 inch high with an integer, it is 1.1 inch high with a string. I cannot see any differences in any of the margin or padding settings so I am not sure what would be causing this small issue.
It is easy to be confused with styling, because we can set style properties on rows, cells or data fields within cells.
As you describe this issue, i think you have not applied this conditional formatting on rows, but on cells or data fields.
When a BIRT table is selected in the outline view of Eclipse designer, we need to click on the left to select the whole row, and then define a conditional formatting. Thus, physically we can't have height differences between cells (at least in html format) because the style is applied on a "div" container.
