The data in Calc can be formatting in several ways. It can either be edited as part of a cell style so that it is automatically applied, or it can be applied manually to the cell. Some manual formatting can be applied using toolbar icons. For more control and extra options, select the appropriate cell or cells, right-click on it, and select Format Cells. All of the format options are discussed below.

All the settings discussed in this section can also be set as a part of the style using the Styles and Formatting window. See Chapter 10 (Using Styles in Calc) for more information.
