Sorry, I don't know if this has been covered before. I know Pierre will be working on Ecco style outline formatting. This will be a great addition. Until this is implemented, or even as an addition to Ecco ouutline formatting, could a tool be added such that it can copy and paint from a desired existing format (bold, underlined, 16 point Bitstream Sans Mono) to another?

Thank you.

Have you looked at Item Formatting ?

I wonder would Conditional Formatting be enough for you (it would not format the complete row)

You would need a yes/no field to apply the formatting.

There is no mention of font style/size on that manual page so I dont know if it would work for that (- try Font=Arial, or whatever, as shown in properties pane)

Thank you Tom. Very interesting reading, and yes, I think that would work for now. It is not particularly user-friendly, and I think it would be off-putting for a lot of potential users.

It seems to me that a modification of your suggestion could be used to format according to outline level (akin to outline styles in Ecco).

Hi Jon,

Is this for Item formatting or in-cell formatting ? To copy Item formatting, you can cut / paste the Item info >> Item Properties >> Font (Properties pane).

For in-cell formatting, it isn't currently possible.

It is for in-cell formatting. Still, I'd like to know more about the method you described. I can copy the font info, but how do you paste it?

EDIT: Never mind - I figured it out. Thank you. By the way this forum is S L O W !

Yes I know... If only I had 36 hours days, I'd switch to another host... If anyone is keen in helping me on this task, it would be most welcomed !

How about getting a collection to pay someone (outsource) moving hosts? I would certainly chip in to help end this pain :)
