[GNC] Report - Income Statement - Layout problem

[Adrien Monteleone]

And indeed, I just tested this in LibreOffice.

Both methods work to automatically resize the columns to line up, though 
export/open retains fonts, background, etc.

Select-All followed by Copy/Paste into a blank sheet brings up the Text 
Import dialog, and I left the default options.

This method will stick everything in the spreadsheet cells with no 
formatting carried over. (it will insert as plain text, so your 
spreadsheet styles will override)

You may find this easier as you can define your spreadsheet styles 
perhaps more intuitively using an office app than via CSS in GnuCash.

Then simply multi-select and apply those styles to the relevant cells.

The amount of setup work you need to do just depends on how you want it 
to look and how often you need to do this. Templates can help here 
considerably.

Regards,
Adrien
