Hello Dan

 * Why blue: in impress and although in draw you can choose the default
   color in the properties in OO.
     o Menue EXTRA - Options
         + select in the drop-downlist OpenOffice.org - colors
         + select there your default color
 * Drawing an object around an other object.
     o draw your second object so as you like.
     o select with the right bottom object - choose alignment in the
       drop-downlist and select in more/full background - in OO3 there
       is a option behind object
     o select with the right bottom object - choose location/size -
         + in the first tabulator in the open window there are to
           squares named basic-point - select there the center
           radio-bottom - do this for both objects!
         + fill in the identical position - so the both objects are
           centered
         + if it is necessary fill in the size for width and hight for
           your second object.

If you draw a square, ect. Why is the area blue?

How do you draw an eclipse around an object? When I do this I get an eclipse
with a blue field blocking out the object.



Thanks,



Dan
