Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 102961
Default Page
Last modified: 2009-07-12 18:15:46 UTC
I have been using Oo2.0 and have recommended it to several people who also use it and like it, some better than MS Office. I have contributed, and kept informed on Oo. I saw the upgrade to Oo3 and decided to upgrade as anything added would be just great. Once I downloaded Oo3 I opened it and no matter what I opened, Writer, Calc, etc. all the default pages were a dark green background with black font. It printed as white with black font but the green and black is EXTREMELY hard on the eyes. I tried EVERTHING I knew to change the default to the white blackground with black font as default. Despite all my attempts it would not change to a default. In Impress when I opened it up it automatically went to a slide with a default frame. I am use to it opening to a blank frame and then I chooses the background. This too I could not change. After spending several hours of frustration I just uninstalled 3+ and re-installed Oo2 and all was good again. What is the solution? If this is set in stone I will stick to the Oo2. Please advise. P.S. This is the second time I have submitted this as the first time I received absolutely NO response at all.... R Hart
Which OS do you use? Which theme do you use there? You can set the default colors for OOo in Tools > Options > Appearance. You find "Application Background" and "Document Background" somewhere at the beginning of that list. Your first issue has got an answer, perhaps you have missed it because of a spam filter? *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 102689 ***
