I have been jumping from Linux to Windows (my copy of OOo 2.0 on windows works well) for the test you suggested. OOo 2.0 on Linux was able to produce documents with text in colors when openend in Windows. Even more, if I generated a PDF in Linux and opened it, the colors were there.
Thus I decided to inspect in detail all configuration options (comparing with the working installation). I have found the "problem". Not a bug in the program but an incorrect option setting: OpenOffice.org>Accesibility>Options for high contrast appearance Use automatic font color for screen display This option was checked, thus the behavior I saw. I was unaware of this effect, even, of the existence and purpose of these settings. Thanks Andrew, without your feedback I wouldn't have engaged in the extensive testing Enrique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
