I am trying to create a simple 'to do' list in Open Office Calc

I'm pretty sure I've done something similar in the past in Excel using conditional formatting and a drop-down list so I could select 'Completed' as the task status, though it was a few years ago and I don't remember the details, and I don't know whether Open Office supports conditional formatting anyway...

I use teuxdeux.com which does exactly that, but you may have other reasons for using Open Office.

teuxdeux.com looks interesting and I will explore. But this is intended to be a shared 'to do' list and I just thought that the spreadsheet format which everyone is familiar with might get most used.

Also don't want an online one for this.

You might find it easier just to change the text formatting manually. Not as elegant but not as much set up cost.

Yes, that's what I'm currently doing - but can't see me sticking to that. May have to bite the bullet and find a dedicated programme and then convince the others to use it as well. That last part's the tricky bit.
