Perhaps this will help: The color table is stored in
/home/.openoffice.org/3/user/config/ in the standard .soc file. This
is using the OOo version downloaded from the OOo website. The Mac
version is home/Library/Application
Support/openoffice.org/3/user/config. Again it is the standard .soc file.
Before copying the standard.soc file from another location, you
might consider renaming the standard.soc file you want to replace.
Then copy the desired standard.soc file into the same folder. Close
OOo if it is running. Open it to see if you now have the color table
that you want.
NOTICE: The locations are accurate. The suggestions are what I
think, but I have never tried to do this. They may not work even if I
think they should.

Seasons Greetings Dan and thanks, however as far I could find, the
directory structure of Mint is a morass of branches and duplicated
folders. A file search for OpenOffice and standard.soc came up readily
enough in Mac, but in Mint a file search popped up nothing less than
three separate OpenOffice folders in threads raging from /etc/ to /init/
and some were alias dead-ends or plain empty. I'm no hacker and I really
don't want to play Indiana Jones delving our hard drives just to
transfer color and address and default info from Mac OOo into Mint OOo.
I wonder how many perspective users OOo lost because people couldn't
transfer their personal Mac or PC or Linux Ooo defaults between another.
Surely there's a "simple" script that can swing this, and I'd really be
nice if the brains in the know could lend a hint.
