My bad, am using Apache OpenOffice 4.5.0 (AOO450m1 Build:9900 Rev:facded3995) it an ASF Buildbot realease, Linux.
I am planning to purchase additional hardware in the future, and will be using the 4.1.9 or 4.2.0 builds on those machines for testing purposes. This should align better with the same release you are all using, but for now this 'daily driver' machine is using 4.5.0. ________________________________ From: Matthias Seidel Sent: Monday, March 15, 2021 8:26 AM To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Minor amendment to F1 help or formatting windows Hi Dean, Am 14.03.21 um 20:15 schrieb Dean.Webber: > Good day all, > > When someone has a spare moment could these minor amendments be published > into the help for Writer, or could the "Area" tabs be renamed to "Background". > > Details; > > Index - Watermarks > > Defining Graphics or Colors in the Background of Pages (Watermark) > 1.
