Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 51649
changing font color doesn't change color of only selected text
Last modified: 2005-07-07 07:42:23 UTC
In a slide, select some text (say for one bullet), right-click on it, select "Edit Style", then the "Font Effects" tab, and then change the font color. The font color of all the text in that particular slide changes instead of just the selected text's. Using openofficeorg-* 1.9.113-1 installed through RPMS (through Fedora Core 4).
It's no bug, it's a feature ;) OOo has the abiltiy to use styles. If you change a style, all objects which are associated to this style will change. The "Styles and Formatting"-window, former "stylist", is a good tool to work with styles. Of cause you can also use direct formatting. Therefore you must select "Character" or "Paragraph" from the menu. Please see http://support.openoffice.org/index.html to learn more about styles and formatting.
Closed, thanks for the help, regina.
