I have not created or modified a colour for a long time and remember
that last time I tried it I got into a mess because the sequence of
events is not intuitive or user friendly.
Say I want to keep an existing colour, say a dark blue, for example,
but also save a modified copy of it, say 'pale blue', what do I click
on first?; what is the correct sequence of events so that I end up
with both 'blue' and 'pale blue' in my list of colurs?
I would be most grateful for help with this matter.
Kind regards, James
I understand the problem, and solved it for myself some time back --
here's a process I think works.
* Activate the color selection/definition window (e.g., Tools >
Options, OpenOffice.org, Colors, or Format > Area, Color tab).
* Select the color that's close to what you want (dark blue).
* Click Modify.
* Set Name to your new color (pale blue).
* Click Edit.
* Select your new color (from the grid, the shaded square, the
slider, by RGB, by CMYK -- whatever) and OK it.
* Click Add.
I agree -- not intuitive! HTH.
