1) I went into the preferences and changed the font color for editing from the default red to dark blue. The edits I made were shown in dark blue, however, after re-opening the file the next day, the edits all appeared in lime green? Do you have any suggestions for maintaining the color of choice?
It should happen naturally, I think. But note that the colour scheme for changes is maintained in the software, not in the document. So if you changed the color from dark blue to lime green after saving and closing the document, the new colours would show when you re-opened it. If you send such a document to others, they will see their choice of colours, not yours. And I'm assuming that the colours changes are saved in the OpenOffice user profile, so colours will (potentially) even be different for different users on the same system and using the same installation of OpenOffice.
Incidentally, Microsoft Word is notorious for shuffling colours in Track Changes. Are you perhaps (unwisely) saving your document in Microsoft Word format? Could that be the cause of problems?
2) I find the underscoring of words, phrases, and punctuations to be visually distracting -- especially in the context of strike through edits. In short, there are horizontal lines everywhere on the page. Is there a means of undoing the underscore feature?
I'm not sure what you are seeing here: surely Underlined and Underlined:double are simply options you can choose to mark changes? If you have chosen Strikethrough you should not see any additional underlining.
I trust this helps. Brian Barker ------------------------------------------- List Conduct Guidelines: http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
