1. OpenOffice tends to get into this "group mode" where it tries to put
everything in a group. That is, the background of the text and lines
becomes ghosted and I have right click and select "Exit group". Is there
any way to turn this off?
I presume you are talking about the Draw component? Which version?
I've not noticed that Draw "tends" to group objects by itself. You can
certainly group objects deliberately, though. If you have objects that are
grouped but you don't want that, select the grouped object, then
Modify|Ungroup. Perhaps tell us more of exactly what you are doing.
I think I see what you mean. Text is grouped by default. If you want to
ungroup it you have to
first do "Modify - Convert to curve" and then "Modify - Ungroup". Then
you will be able to access
individual letters, to change their shape, etc.
