can someone explain the advantage of using "style" and not just formatting cells?

Hi

When your company changes its design program and you must switch your
workbooks from pink with blue bold Courier to green with purple italic
Verdana, then you change it in one single place, not in several thousands
separate worksheet cells.

So a "style" is for the entire workbook? (or it's an option to do this)

TIA, Paul

Could I get blinking cyan Wingdings on a yellow plaid background?

This is one I can answer: No, Wingdings only come in Garnet Red and
English Racing Green.

"You need a macro to do that" <g>
Considering how many that asks for blinking cells, flashing text and animated gifs, I fear
that some future version of some spreadsheet actually will support it.

Just think of all the answers we'll have to give people on how to kill it if
they do

Please no! All you MVPs should unite and use any influence you may have with
MS to stop any such thoughts before someone really does think it might be a
good idea.

Uh huh - you see how much influence MVPs have in getting the
designers to work on more rows and columns rather than SmartTags and
TaskPains...

Once the eye-candy bug hits...

 

[Bob Phillips]

JE,

Faith man! More rows and columns is a problem as has been expounded many
times. Not adding a 'feature' should be easy, even for MS.

[Ken Wright]

Nahhh - If it was that easy then we would never have gotten merged cells as an
option
