The namedstyle provided by spread is used to solve this problem. By specifying namedstyle, You can preset multiple styles and differentiate them by name for ease of use. Namedstyle can be set and saved in the following Editor:

In addition to the above main Chinese editor, the user's favorite is the spread designer. This is not only a designer, but also a document processing tool. It can interact with users like excel, input and process data, generate charts, edit formulas, and customize styles. You can interact with multiple files and directly open and save multiple file formats, including Excel. The final report result is even printed directly. The most important thing is that users can publish and deploy any of them on end users' machines without any additional copyright fees.
