Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
In Office 2007 (Win), you can open up a formatting ribbon (under styles) that gives you access to cell formats by name - this controls color of the cell background, text color, border, font, etc. This is amazingly useful for all the reasons you'd expect when dealing with visual displays.
While I can find tools to change these elements individually, I've gotten used to being able to simply apply these styles with a single click. As I understand things, Styles like this are not available directly in Mac Office 2008.
Being just a little bit color blind, trying to choose the same shade every time from a set of small chips is very difficult and time consuming.
Does anyone have an idea about workarounds for this kind of functionality? What I'm looking to do is define styles that can be applied by selection from a panel, if possible. Also, being able to name them would be awesome, if that name can be called from the Conditional Formatting panel during calculations.
Thanks for any insight!
