Apply AutoFormat Styles
Tables should often look representative.

Doing this manually each time, especially if you have to create tables frequently, is very time-consuming.

To simplify this work, you can use the "AutoFormat Styles" function to automatically apply desired formats to a table or a selected cell range.

Select cells in Calc
Select at least 4 x 4 cells, or larger - the size of the table as it will be later, including the required column and row headings and totals to be formatted automatically.

Then select.

Select cells in Writer
Select the cells in the table, including the required column and row headings and totals, to be automatically formatted.

Then select.

Definitions in the "AutoFormat" dialog
In the "AutoFormat" dialog you can now select which format - ("Number format", "Font", "Alignment", "Borders", "Pattern" and in Calc "AutoFit with and hight") - you wish to include in the AutoFormat.

Select the desired "Formatting" and click on.

Redefine an AutoFormat Styles
If you don't like any of the given formats, you can also create a format yourself.

To do this, format an area on the spreadsheet of at least 3 times 3 cells, or larger, as large as the spreadsheet is to be later, including the headings for rows and columns and the display of totals.

Now you define all details for the Style.

This includes the font and font size, alignment, border, number format and colours.

When the table is complete, select the entire table area and choose in Calc or  in Writer.

In the "AutoFormat" dialog click.

In the "Add AutoFormat" dialog that opens, enter a Name (e.g. "Format_01") for a new format and click.

The newly created format, "Format_01", is now displayed in the "AutoFormat" dialog, on the left side of the list with the name.

You close the dialog with.

You can now use the new format "Format_01".

Value Highlightning
"Value Highlightning" in Calc shows the contents of the cells in different colours depending on the type.

Choose from the menu bar or press +.

By default, text cells are formatted in black, formulas in green, number cells in blue.

Protected cells are displayed with a light grey background, no matter how their display is formatted.

Sidebar - Styles/Table Styles in Writer
The sidebar displays the Table Styles that are also in the list in the "AutoFormat" dialog.

Once you have added a new AutoFormat Style, it is also selectable in the sidebar for Table Styles.

So you can also mark a table and assign the desired table style with a double click.

Note AutoFormat Styles = Table Styles

Attention Changes or new AutoFormat templates should always be made via the menu and not in the table templates.
