Hi Patrick, What you should see is that the Save icon is greyed out when you save the document. Is that what you mean ?

[users] Saving a document
Hello, i have a quick question about saving a document. In the past, with openoffice.org, i have saved a document (spreadsheets mainly), and the save icon on the toolbar turns a different color to show that i have saved the document and that I don't need to save it again. I just downloaded the newest version (2.0.1) and this save action doesn't happen (no color change, so i don't know if i have saved my work. It would be better if i can make it work the previous way. I can't find the answer to this in your openoffice help tutorial. Is there a way to do this? Thank you for your response on this issue... Patrick - Yahoo! Mail Bring photos to life!

I have looked there. If that is where it is, then which one do i change? If not, then where and how? Thank you, Patrick AFAIK the current release of OOo does not provide a facility to change tab colors.

Re: [users] Fw: problem with my help pages
Hello Dave, Thanks for the timely manner and precise responses that you have given in response to me... 1.My first email was solved and i considered the word duh! when i figured out that i had not actually dropped the read-only files off of the E-drive...Once i copied to the computer, they were not read-only anymoreSo case closed on that one... 2. Your assistance in providing a link to temporarily address the Help pages issue is very good indeed...It appears successful and I will try that if I get back on my own computer before the new openoffice version releases. So this is a closed case as well 3. About your response to the highlighting issue.I am inquiring about the subject of selecting multiple sheets to edit all at the same time..When selecting multiple sheets, the ones selected highlight in a color that is very very close to the color for the unselected sheet or sheet in use (both white)what i would like to know is How do i, when selecting multiple sheets, make the highlighting (within a spreadsheet book, with multiple sheets) a darker color, to provide a more significant contrast to the sheets I haven't selected?I cannot tell them apart very easily when i select multiple sheets for all of them to be editted at the same time.At this time, the color for the sheet tab (on my computer) is white. When i select multiple sheets, the tabs change a very faint light gray (or blue, i am not sure) not much different than the normal white of the unselected (or the tab of the sheet currently open). Is that clearer? i hope i am explaining it with a bit better clarity Thanks for your attention in this...I should say that open office is a wonderful office helpand i am grateful for the program, even with this small setback Patrick Dave Barton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, 2006-02-06 at 19:24 -0800, Morris McColley wrote: Hello, 1.)
