Support Team:
I have the Open Office 4 and I m visually impaired. My problem with 
this program is than when I click on the main heading in the toolbar 
ie: File, Edit, view, etc.. I get the drop down menu with a DARK RED 
background with black type. With my eyes it is very difficult to read. 
Can you offer me some advice as to how to change this background ? 
Perhaps  even a light yellow would be better  on my eyes.


I don't know where the DARK RED background comes from, but my guess it's 
a setting in your Operating System.
In OpenOffice under Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice ... View you can 
select the size and style of the Icons and set

your Scaling to a maximum of 130 %

Then in Windows 10 you can change your brightness and Scale and layout 
of the text, apps, and other items in the

Display section of the  Control Panel.

You also can change the Color & high contrast under the Ease of Use 
section of the Control Panel.

Here you also find the settings for the Magnifier.

I never have changed these settings myself so be careful change one 
thing at a time so you remember the steps when

you need to go back.



Thanking you in advance for your assistance,

Alex Wood

May be you do not know the Problem with Calc/Spreadsheet. And the 
reason is the complicated support.


My PC is in best form (all updates etc.) and works fine (Windows 8.1). 
I youse PC since 15 Years. I run many Programs parallel without any 
problem.


I use after this only problem with calc ONLY this one for test. I did 
delete libre office and OO and folders an made a new download and 
installation after i had new started.


The same Problem: when I do keyboard  input "1" than down key than 1 
and so forth i see no input. the cursor goes very slowly through the 
fields where nothing is to see. after some seconds the number 1 
appears in the fields slowly one after another!.


In Writer i have not such problems. Only in calc in OO.

Otherwise I can work with the program  Calc without other problems.


Most times when it happens to me is when I have a complex Spreadsheet 
with many formulas.
The solution is to to switch off the Auto Calculate option under: Tools 
-> Cell Contents and deselect AutoCalculate
You could also look under Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice Calc -> 
Calculate and check Iterative references settings.




But i have to do input of many many numbers and this is with this 
OO-Problem impossible to do because i have no control over my inputs 
then.


I get RR

I think I am a good specialist in recherch in Internet but i could 
find no help.


Thank You very much.

More explanation of this claim would help us improve our support offerings.

it is possible that there is a problem with your configuration of the
software, but if it was a common problem millions of users would be
reporting it. Please help us by explaining "complicated support".

Microsoft have successfully conditioned Windows users to behave like
"Pavlov's Dogs" (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/pavlov-s-dogs) and
WRONGLY believe that uninstall/reinstall/restart fixes ALL Windows
issues. In the case of Apache OpenOffice (also LibreOffice) this is NOT
true, because your "User Profile" (your personal settings) is not
removed and is found and used by any reinstall of the software.

Other than some unimportant little grammatical errors there is nothing
bad about your English.

The fact that you experience the same problem with LibreOffice, which
has an independent and unrelated configuration is a good indication that
the issue is being generated by your system configuration. Try renaming
(recommended) or deleting your "User Profile". For details see the
following tutorial in the User Forum: Reset your user profile:
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74=12426#p58403.

If my suggestions do do help to resolve your issue please write back to
the mailing list and maybe another list contributor can offer a possible
solution.

Regards
Dave

Hi Matt,

You haven't given us much information (eg. operating system, software
version, etc.) to assess a possible situation, so any advice we give you
has to be a guess. What you describe has to be something that has been
set in your configuration of the software, otherwise millions of other
users would be reporting the same issue.

Assuming that your issue is with Writer (the word processor), one
possibility is that you have (somehow?) changed the default or text body
font "Style" or "Template" to have a shadow. If you are unfamiliar with
"Styles" and "Templates" please search the Apache Openoffice website for
these terms an you will find a lot of information, some a little dated
but still valid.

Does the text of a new document also have the shadow? If so, you can
reset everything to the default settings by renaming (recommended) or
deleting what is known as your "User Profile" (personal preferences).
For details see the following tutorial in the User Forum: Reset your
user profile:
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74=12426#p58403.

If none of the above help to resolve your issue, please write back with
more specific detailed information.

Regards
Dave

Shadowing on text

[Matthew Canada]

I cannot insert new text without the program adding a shadow. I’ve reset my 
preferences, I’ve highlighted and added shadow, then removed, but it persists. 
I can’t find a way around it.

Please advise
