Cool & thanks for finding that simple solution! I just tested & you are
100% correct. From the help file:

<quote>
Always use automatic font color for screen display
Displays fonts in OpenOffice.org using the system color settings. This
option only affects the screen display.
</quote>

That is why when others reported that the colors showed up when they
printed, or exported to PDF :-)

I guess when you, and others, deleted their .openoffice* profile
directory this was set back to it's default of being unchecked.

Nice find :-)
