Hi Dean,

I am not sure I can follow you. On Calc why is it not enough to change the Formatting?

You can change multiple cells at once. And if you need the setup multiple times you could save a template.

Why does this not solve your goals in calc?


For writer, I think the use case is write a text not calculate numbers. So I do not understand your user story. Let me try to use a method "User Story" (check out [1 ] for details) to try to better understand:

As an *editor of a text in writer*,

I want *to adjust written number Formating in my document*

so that I can *have a consistent number formatting presentation in my text*.

Is this the direction you are thinking?


All the best

Peter

Dear Devs,

How hard would it be to change the default rounding in the tables to the 
entered value or similar. Or perhaps, can I change it to accept text as an 
entry by default (ie in settings)...

Just a little time consuming whenever I enter 895.714285 or similar into the 
table and have to change the rounding per cell. Otherwise, if it just thinks 
text as default this will be better (for my situation).

Like if I enter 895.714285, would it be hard for writer to be like "oh, wanting 6 decimal 
places" instead of being "895.71"... Really bad when entering 0.00008 for example...

Thanks,
Dean
