Ummm. Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Appearance:: I just set the document background to Black and all the others changed to automatic. Now I have what I always wanted, again, white text on a black background. Much easier on my eyes. Have to try it a while to make sure everything is showing. Changing now to my old Turbopascal favorite: yellow text on black, leaving all the others on autmatic. Except for the Application Background which is still set to turquoise. saludos, Richard. > The ability to do this would be the greatest single > improvement to OO Writer that I can think of. > > Roger Greenwald > Toronto > > Roger Greenwald > http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~roger/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
