Styles are another way of separating data and presentation which is a
long standing programming mantra. A programmer should be interested in that.

Hi Karl,
thanks for your reply, I meanwhile tried it and unfortunately it doesn't

Hi :)
Again, it's another advantage of OpenSource, or at least non-MS stuff.
There is an entire eco-system of similar programs and suites that can
all work on the same documents as each other but each provides for
different niches, as well as all covering all the same middle-ground
as each other.

I am wondering if you are printing to a machine that your OS thinks is
a b&w one, or if you have somehow got just LibreOffice treating it as

I thought it wasn't possible to set the back-ground colour according
