Yes I tried setting the CharBackTransparent boolean also, it had no effect. >From my latest "research" I believe that it's not the case that transparent and opaque values are being exchange, it's simply that OpenOffice doesn't support transparency for background colors and because of this seems to use "0x00" for the alpha bit (which would normally mean transparent rather than opaque!). The problem is that the Java Color Object and any other kind of Color handling such as with JColorChooser, always set the alpha bit. So I'm having to explicitly unset the alpha bit / set it to 0x00 before trying to set the background color. I believe this is something that can / should be handled behind the scenes, by the OpenOffice API. If it doesn't support transparency it should however check for the alpha bit and set it to whatever it likes it to be. So anyone trying to set transparency will simply get opaque, rather than get nothing.
