[Solved] Change Background Color

Post by MalM »

Hi,

I have attempted to change the background color on some of the OOs forms that I created and I have been unsuccessful with figuring it out.

I went into edit mode; right clicked and chose "Edit/Paragraph Style"; clicked on the background tab and picked the color I wanted;

this method will only change the color on the first line of the form and nothing else. I was wondering if there is a way of changing the entire background?

Thanks

M.

I figured it out. Open the Styles and Formatting control (F11), and choose the Page Styles button. Modify the Default style and change the background color.

I have not found a style for the Label Field font colors, but they can be changed as a group.

Ungroup the Label Fields from the Text Boxes. Select only the Label Fields (shift-click), then right-click on the group and choose Control. Set the Font properties and they will be applied to all the selected Label Fields.
