That work in such cases too, but you have to make a character style from the selected word, not a paragraph style. You will find the RGB-code in the organizer tab. And you can use this new style immediately to color other portions of the text without the need to define the color. Kind regards Regina It appears that you can create a custom style that is either a character or paragraph style using the Styles and Formatting window and the New Style from Selection tool in it. If you select a word, the style will be a character style. If you select an entire paragraph, it will be a paragraph style. In either case, the RGB values appear in the Organizer tab for the style. So you have a choice as to which type of style you create depending upon your needs. And if you want to add this style to your Default template, there was a thread on copying styles from one document to another. --Dan -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Brian Barker Obviously, you tried my idea, and found it does not work very well. So, lets try it another way. Use LibreOffice to save the text document as a HTML document. Then open the html document with a text editor. There you should find the font color property contains the color in hex format. You then have to convert this to RGB before you can create a new color in Tools LibreOffice Colors. --Dan -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How to extract a color from a text?
Hi :) Smart! I was going to suggest using Gimp's (or Photoshop's) Colour picker but getting it directly from an html document might be a lot faster and reliable and easier to figure out quickly.
