How do I report bugs in Gnumeric?
See right here.
Can we get commercial support for Gnumeric?
Yes. There are developers available in several locales who can provide support contracts or custom development. Contact me for details.
Does Gnumeric support charts?
Yes, and it has been doing so for a few years now. Here's a sample chart. For the curious, Gnumeric uses its own graph engine. We were using Guppi in the 1.0 series, but that did not work out right.
How can I help with Gnumeric?
I'm glad you asked!
Does Gnumeric support more than 256 columns?
Yes. In the 1.8 series this requires a re-compile. (Edit SHEET_MAX_COLS and SHEET_MAX_ROWS in src/gnumeric.h and re-compile.) In the 1.9 series, right-click on the sheet tab and select "Resize".
Does Gnumeric support pivot tables?
Not yet. There are no fundamental problems; it's just a matter of man power and priorities.
Does Gnumeric support rich text?
Yes.
Does Gnumeric support rotated text?
Yes. This requires Pango 1.8.1 or newer to work, though.
Does Gnumeric support conditional formatting?
Not yet. There is initial support for this, but there is no GUI to edit it.
How do I enter a newline in strings?
Use Alt-Enter. Your keyboard probably has two Alt keys. They might not both work.
