Feature Request

[Rod Lockwood <ro...@provide.net>]

Is there some way of adding a way of adding things like row height and  
column width to the Page Styles in Calc? I need my row heights a little  
taller now on all of my spreadsheets. When I changed the template they are  
all based on I find I have to adjust the row heights on all the files  
manually anyway.

I get the update prompt, but the row heights remain the same. New  
templates reflect the new row heights, but I need the old files to be  
updated. I had the same problem with the column widths. There is no way to  
set things like the row heights and column widths anywhere in the Style  
box.

It also seems to me that the default files should be changed, so you can  
call your new defaults from the main menu instead of from MyTemplates. You  
should be able to customize the default besides creating templates for  
variations. The original default files could be stored separately in case  
you want to go back. As it is, I never use the New file menu options or  
the new file buttons on the main window, because they only open the old  
default files that I never use.

Probably not.  The problem is that row heights and column widths are 
in general different for each row and column and not fixed for all of 
a page or sheet - let alone an entire spreadsheet.

You can.  Create and save a template with your required 
properties.  Go to File | Templates > | Organize..., browse to and 
select your new template, and then use Commands | Set As Default Template.

They will be.

I trust this helps.
