Hi,
Just as if you were using normal Word. Select that which you want to change.
Then go to font colour and select the colour black. It will automatically
change to black. Easy as pie. Hope this helps somewhat.
Cheers,
Tina

Hi folks,
This may be a simple question, excuse me if so, but I'm none too
familiar with Open Office, I'm only using it for compatibility
purposes. I HAVE looked at the help information, and if it tells me
how to do this, then I'm missing it.
I have a draft of a bridge (the card game) book to work on. My
co-author and I have decided to use the suit symbols where possible,
and I need to make that change retrospectively. I know how to
substitute the red suit symbols for hearts and diamonds (I cheat by
copying the symbols from elsewhere in the text) but I can't work out
how to then switch back to black text after I've done the
substitution, if I change the text after the substituted symbol then
it comes out in red, which is NOT what I want. I tried adding a unique
string in black after the symbol and then substituting that out, nope,
doesn't work, I still have the problem that I seem to have switched to
red text.
This would take me about two minutes in dear old Word Perfect, I've
spent more than two hours trying to solve the problem in OO. Can
someone please save my remaining sanity and tell me how to do this, I
have a LOT of symbols to substitute, far too many to do them by hand.
Secondary question: Is there any such thing as a 'reveal codes' option
in Open Office where you can see all these things like font changes
etc. embedded in your document?
Thanks,
Brian.
