Open Office dialog box colors hard to read

[Phil McMahan]

The dark blue background with black letters in dialog boxes is very hard to 
read. This began with installation of new hard drive and OS 10.13.6I’ve 
tried several options to no avail.

That would be dangerous - if your document has been corrupted and the 
automated backup works properly - the backup is unusable as well ...

Re: Filter selection

[Alan B]

Are you double-clicking the file name to open it?

If yes, try opening the desired program first then use file > open within
the program to open the document.

If the above works then it provides a way to open documents and provides
some clues to troubleshoot the problem.

I fact there are options under Tools -> Options -> Load/save
There you set the Auto Recovery time interval and to create Backups,
backups are created when you close your document always allow some
time to finish this process before you switch of your system.

Depend on your Options set under the Tools menu.
Check your settings under Load/save
When you have set the option you find the directory of the backups
under OpenOffice -> Paths

Probably we could help if you are more specific about the error message 
and tell us
what Operating System and version you have as well as the version of 
OpenOffice.

  either by email or phone 760-231-9464 Thank you Barry

First of all your documents are not open source as you don't share it 
with the rest of the world.
Secondly the Filter Dialogue box appears only when one of your files is 
corrupted.
You have two options 1. Recover document 2. Cancel You have to select 
one of them.
Sometimes a document is beyond repair, you should go back to your backup 
files.

  I have been through the options but to no avail. Could you advise how I can

Hard to know which dialog box you had the problem with, we don't have a 
clue which module of OpenOffice you use.
Most of the time it will be helpful to know your Operating System and 
version and the version of OpenOffice.

Yes there is a way, assuming you use OpenOffice and use the Save As 
function at the bottom

of the menu there is an option to Save with password.
But I don't understand why you want to save as a .doc (Word) document.
Exporting to PDF will protect updates from unauthorized users.

As far as I know (and that's not much) there is no setting in OpenOffice 
you can change.

The only possibility I can think of is your display settings on the iMac.
Open the System Settings and select Accessibility uncheck Increase Contrast.



When I look at the Community Help board, I see that several others 
have had the same problem.
