OpenOffice Lessons for the Day
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008Things that I spent too much time figuring out again today with OpenOffice
- Tools -> AutoCorrect …. - to turn off all those replacement tables which make your Unix commands in a presentation all go funny
- OpenOffice “automatic colors” are anything but, as they don’t realize you have a black background, and choose horrible defaults
- To fix this do the following:
- Options -> OpenOffice.org -> Appearance
- Modify link color to something like yellow
- Modify document background to black (so you can see when you edit)
- Save as some other profile, as this will affect all documents, including text ones
Now my life with open office is a bit better.
