I JUST TRIED THE METHOD UNDER THE SCHOO APP OF APACHE.ORG FOR FORMATTING A CELL BACKGROUND. IT DID NOT FILL THE CELL BACKGROUND WITH THE COLOR SELECTED. BEFORE I CLICKED THE CELL/FORMAT/BACKGROUND/COLOR DESIRED/OK AND THE CELL BACKGROUND FILLED WITH THE SELECTED COLOR. I ALSO CHECKED OLDER SAVED FILES AND FOUND THAT THE BACKGROUND COLORS WERE GONE. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING! Jim

It is not a commercial organization, which you can see if you visit their website <https://www.apache.org>. Regarding how to contact "Apache", have you tried looking at their website? (When I do a Google search for "apache", the apache.org site is listed at the *top* of the results.) You could also look at the OpenOffice website <https://www.openoffice.org> (which, again is a .ORG site). As somebody else wrote earlier, please calm down. You are not being ripped off.
