Hello Karsten,Hello,
perhaps somebody knows this?

I have the latest OO version 3.2.1

If I write text on a slide in OO-Impress, and I want to color selected words 
with a certain color, this is very tedious:

I have to select the color for each single word!

The reason is, the color button has a color itself, but this changes as you 
point the cursor to a different place: it will show the local color (after a 
short time).

This means, if I want to change a word's color:
  - I select a word
  - I click on the small triangle besides the color button
  - I select a color

I am not sure whether this is intended.

In my opinion, it should show the last color manually selected, and apply it to 
each selection, for which I click on the color button. In this way it would be 
much quicker (after the first word):
  - I select a word
  - I click on the color button

Regards, Karsten
I filed a bug report on this, but while the issue was fixed in Writer, it was not fixed in Impress apparently, so it would make sense to re-open it.

Also, you may want to vote for having character styles in Impress so that you can apply a certain colour (as well as other formatting) to individual words with just a couple of clicks, and if later on you decide to change the "highlight" colour, again you only need a few clicks...

Writing this email offline, so not able to provide links to the bugs, but may do that in a separate email (when I have re-opened the issue).

Cheers,

Michele
