The second was to select "Show note" from the context menu on the dot.
It copies the contents of the note into a frame, where you can for
instance apply text art, but it's not a note anymore (and I couldn't
select that frame with the mouse ever again. The next note will be
yellow, small lettered and in straight lines, as ever.
Really? I was able to restore status quo by placing the cursor on the
note anchor and used the context menu to deselect show note. Try it.
Ah!
My first guess in a program that takes as much pride in its style
support as open office would have been that you go the red dot and
select "Change paragraph style" from the context menu. You could argue
that notes are not part of the document per se, so should have a
browser-like setting that is is not saved with the document (and is
independent of the zoom setting; you want to be able to read the notes
no matter if you're adjusting letter kernings of getting an overview
of the page layout). That setting would belong to the particular
installation of OOo where you view it, and I guess Preferences is the
place where to customize it. The only thing I could find there was a
way to change the color.
Are my expectations so far off?
klaus
Could be. I suggest that you enter an Request for Enhancement (RFE) into
Issue Tracker as this is the best way to have requests such as this
evaluated.
I don't use notes that much and my eyes are good enough. Maybe I'll do
it if there is confirmation that my expectations are _not_ off. But I
will play with notes a bit when I get the next version.
thanks,
klaus
