I suspect that the problem is in the opening of the wpd documents - color codes are inserted where there are none - but have no idea how to correct the situation without going over all the formatting of the document, applying styles to each paragraph, table contents, etc. I was already forced to do this to the documents that I needed right away, but there are many more that I would eventually have to deal with, and I tremble at the prospect.

OOo can search for text formatted in a certain way. Hopefully, the
styles in the WPD documents always use the same colors. If so, you can
record a macro to search for each color in turn and apply your own
styles to them. Then all you have to do is run the macro every time you
open a new document.


Thanks for the tip! I had seen "Attributes" under "More Options" in the "Find and Replace" dialog, but I hadn't realized I could apply it to the (seemingly) empty "Search for" and "Replace with fields - and then click "Replace All" to change all references of Black to Automatic.

So far so good. Now, is there any way I do something similar to change all references to table cells background White to No Fill?
