[Solved] Formatting Documents to Read Easier

[sokolowitzky]

I've seen an API that makes reading easier, setting first few characters of each word in a text bold.

I've found it very useful.
I have some sheets that contain some articles(which is improper to the purpose of the "calc", I know that)
If I try manually, to turn some characters to bold and let other ones as regular font, it can be done.
But, since the basic treats each cell as an object that can't be separated to multiple parts, apparently it won't let me do such a change inside of a cell.


Do you have any idea that might help bypass this? Even though I can't think up a clear solution, may be a particular font type can be used? or may be a way to display all cells together(1 cell with bold characters+ 1 regular), turning each cell's lenght to a minimum and somehow manipulating ooo so that it doesn't limit displaying the exceeding characters?

Why use Calc for that???

In Writer it would be quite easy, the macro would just have to go through each word, take its length, take 50% of it (rounding to the closest integer) and then applying bold formatting on the left part of the string.

There are texts from different sources, and I use grid address to call part of texts, according to parameters.

Code: Select all

c= thiscomponent.sheets(0).getcellbyposition(0,0)
tc=c.text.createtextcursorbyrange(c.text.start)
tc.goright(2,true)
tc.charweight = 150
